At this time there appeared a man of real genius, John Smeaton, a native of Yorkshire. He had been articled to an attorney and afterwards followed the business of a maker of -mathematical instruments. He was the first person who ever, in RAMBLING REMINISCENCES. 195 EnLjland, pursued the business or calling of a civil engfineer, and in fact may be said to have created the profession. He resolved to construct a tower entirely of stone and thouiL^h the public au- thorities were opposed to it, they... finally yielded their assent and lent him aid. Having decided upon the material, the next object of anxious consideration with him was the form of his tower. His thoughts set upon the study of nature's own type of strength — a grand old oak. He considered its spreading roots, which take such a firm, broad grip upon the soil of its mother earth ; he studied the rise of its swelling base, which when it attains the height of above one diameter, is reduced by a graceful curve con- cave to the eye, which carries it to a diameter less by one-third than its original base.
