This illustrated volume provides a biographical account of a multi-talented, eighteenth-century Scotsman, Robert Mylne, whose friends included Smeaton, Watt and Boulton. Mylne achieved fame in his twenties as a bridge builder, architect and engineer. Born in Edinburgh, educated in architecture in Rome, he won the St Luke's design competition before returning to London where he won the prize of designing Blackfriar's bridge. He was surveyor to St Paul's Cathedral, and the Royal Hospital at Greenwich, the engineer to London's biggest waterworks, architect to many houses and bridges, surveyer on rivers, canals and harbours and was an F.R.S. and a founding member of the Society of Civil Engineers and the Architects' Club. He even prepared the sarcophagus for Nelson's coffin! This is the first biography of an important and interesting man.
