Abstract
As a mechanical engineer and a metallurgist, Mr. Daniel Adamson must always maintain a foremost place, for he was in the van in the industrial progress of the century. He was born at Shildon, in the county of Durham, in 1818, and apprenticed to Mr. T. Hackworth, locomotive superintendent of the Stockton and Darlington Railway, with whom he remained from 1835 to 1841. He then held various stations in the same railway until 1850, and in 1851 he began business on his own account as an iron-founder, engineer, and boiler-maker.
