Abstract
SIR BENJAMIN BAKER, whose sudden death in his sixty-seventh year we recorded last week, had a distinguished career as an engineer, and was concerned more or less directly with most of the great engineering schemes of recent years. By his death the profession of civil engineering is deprived of one of its leading members, and the scientific world of a man who combined scientific knowledge with practical training and experience. He was a constant contributor to early volumes of NATURE, and his writings and addresses cover a wide field of applied science.
