THE LATE BRO . C . EDWARDS AMOS , CE . We have received a copy of the memoir of the late Bro . Charles Edwards Amos , C . E ., compiled by his son , Bro ! James C . Amos , at the request of the Institution of Civil Engineers , the Institution of Mechanical Engineers , the Society of Arts , and other bodies with which our deceased
brother was connected . It is in the highest degree interesting , not only as showing how a man of ability ancfenergy may succeed in reaching the highest rung of the professional ladder , but also because it describes the career of a thoroughly self-made man , who was indebted for the fortune he ultimately rose to , under Providence , his own unaided efforts .
Ihe late Bro . Amos , who was born 27 th November , 1 S 15 , although connected by blood both on the father ' s and mother ' s side with some of the older Fen families , was of comparatively humble origin , his father , a farmer , beginning life as a kind of bailiff or manager . When yet a mere boy , young Amos spent many hours in the workshop of his grandfather . Mr . Edward Sharpe , a millwright and carpenter , of Ely , his birthplace , and
this , no doubt , determined him in his ambition to adopt some mechanical occupation as his means of living . However , after having received the merest smattering of education , he was employed by his father as a farm hand , in which capacity , at all events , he acquired a knowledge of agricultural implements and operations , which served him in good stead in bis after career . At eighteen , he apprenticed himself to a Mr . John Wilkinson , millwright and
machine-maker , at Elm , and in his service acquired a competent knowledge of windmills , sluicework , threshing machines , & c . At twenty-two , he obtained employment with Mr . Beamont , of Ramsey . Hunts , and a little later joined Mr . John Clark , of Houghton , under whom he gained great experience in the construction of corn mills , water-wheels , & c . About 1 S 29 he transferred his services to Mr . Joseph
Jordan , of Hestingfordbury , wno at the time was engaged in steam-engine and other machinery work for Mr . Creswick , at the Hatfield Paper Mills . In time , he became the latter ' s engineer , and removed . vith him to the Iron , Mills , Wandsworth , where he constructed and erected a compound beam-engine for Mr . George Dives's Corn Mills , Battersea . This led ultimately , to his forming a partnership , in 1 S 3 G , with Mr . James Easton , as mill-wrights , engineers , and lead i
ppe manufacturers , at the "Grove" Works , Southwark , the compound engine just mentioned beinnp leading speciality . Henforwardthe reputation of the firm increased rapidly ; among the many inventions being a compound marine engine , a knotter or pulp-strainer , and a single sheet cutting machine , for use in paper mills , & c . In hydraulic work they were equally successful , and designed and arranged the hydraulic machinery for raising
the tubes of the Conway and Britannia tubular Bridges . In 1 S 49 , Hro- Amos established the system of * engine trials on the " Prony" brake , and the same year was awarded a gold medal of tbe Royal Agricultural Society for his dynanometer for determing the dynamic effort required to work a winch-driven implement . In 1 S 54 he invented his rotary dynanometer , and in 1 S 57 constructed the machinery used in laying the first Atlantic cable . Other invention ' s
and improvements followed , all of which tended to strengthen the reputation of the firm . On retiring from business , Bro . Amos engaged in various congenial pursuits , until old age crept on him , and he died peacefully at his residence at Clapham , on 12 th August last , in the seventy-seventh year of his age . He was a member of the societies we have named , as well as of several others . He was a juror at the Paris Exhibition of
1 S 55 ; of the London Exhibition of 1 SG 2 ; and of the Agricultural Concourse , at Paris , in 1 S 56 , receiving in each case the diplomas and gold medals presented to such jurors . He was similarly rewarded for his attendance at the Agricultural Exhibition of Sweden and Norway , held at Gothenburg , in 1 S 71 , and also received from the King ( Charles XV . ) the Cross of the Order of Vasa . In short , he was as much respected by his colleagues as he was
beloved by his family and friends , and no wonder . The self-made man of humble origin—of whom there are few now living , and likely to be fewer still—had raised himself to be a leader and benefactor of men . As a Mason , he took great interest in the Craft during his twenty years' connection with it . He was initiated in 1 S 62 in the Grove Lodge , Nof 410 , Ewell , Surrey , and rose to be its VV . M . He was joining member of Moria Lodr ? e
No . 92 , was exalted to the Royal Arch Degree in the Grove Chapter , No . 410 , and installed a Knight Templar in the Grove Encampment in 1 S 6 G . He was also a Life Governor of , and had served as a Festival Steward for each of our Charitable Institutions . We thank Bro . J . C . Amos for affording us the opportunity of showing our respect for so worthy a man and Craftsman as his late father .

THE LATE BRO . C . EDWARDS AMOS , CE . We have received a copy of the memoir of the late Bro . Charles Edwards Amos , C . E ., compiled by his son , Bro ! James C . Amos , at the request of the Institution of Civil Engineers , the Institution of Mechanical Engineers , the Society of Arts , and other bodies with which our deceased
brother was connected . It is in the highest degree interesting , not only as showing how a man of ability ancfenergy may succeed in reaching the highest rung of the professional ladder , but also because it describes the career of a thoroughly self-made man , who was indebted for the fortune he ultimately rose to , under Providence , his own unaided efforts .
Ihe late Bro . Amos , who was born 27 th November , 1 S 15 , although connected by blood both on the father ' s and mother ' s side with some of the older Fen families , was of comparatively humble origin , his father , a farmer , beginning life as a kind of bailiff or manager . When yet a mere boy , young Amos spent many hours in the workshop of his grandfather . Mr . Edward Sharpe , a millwright and carpenter , of Ely , his birthplace , and
this , no doubt , determined him in his ambition to adopt some mechanical occupation as his means of living . However , after having received the merest smattering of education , he was employed by his father as a farm hand , in which capacity , at all events , he acquired a knowledge of agricultural implements and operations , which served him in good stead in bis after career . At eighteen , he apprenticed himself to a Mr . John Wilkinson , millwright and
machine-maker , at Elm , and in his service acquired a competent knowledge of windmills , sluicework , threshing machines , & c . At twenty-two , he obtained employment with Mr . Beamont , of Ramsey . Hunts , and a little later joined Mr . John Clark , of Houghton , under whom he gained great experience in the construction of corn mills , water-wheels , & c . About 1 S 29 he transferred his services to Mr . Joseph
Jordan , of Hestingfordbury , wno at the time was engaged in steam-engine and other machinery work for Mr . Creswick , at the Hatfield Paper Mills . In time , he became the latter ' s engineer , and removed . vith him to the Iron , Mills , Wandsworth , where he constructed and erected a compound beam-engine for Mr . George Dives's Corn Mills , Battersea . This led ultimately , to his forming a partnership , in 1 S 3 G , with Mr . James Easton , as mill-wrights , engineers , and lead i
ppe manufacturers , at the "Grove" Works , Southwark , the compound engine just mentioned beinnp leading speciality . Henforwardthe reputation of the firm increased rapidly ; among the many inventions being a compound marine engine , a knotter or pulp-strainer , and a single sheet cutting machine , for use in paper mills , & c . In hydraulic work they were equally successful , and designed and arranged the hydraulic machinery for raising
the tubes of the Conway and Britannia tubular Bridges . In 1 S 49 , Hro- Amos established the system of * engine trials on the " Prony" brake , and the same year was awarded a gold medal of tbe Royal Agricultural Society for his dynanometer for determing the dynamic effort required to work a winch-driven implement . In 1 S 54 he invented his rotary dynanometer , and in 1 S 57 constructed the machinery used in laying the first Atlantic cable . Other invention ' s
and improvements followed , all of which tended to strengthen the reputation of the firm . On retiring from business , Bro . Amos engaged in various congenial pursuits , until old age crept on him , and he died peacefully at his residence at Clapham , on 12 th August last , in the seventy-seventh year of his age . He was a member of the societies we have named , as well as of several others . He was a juror at the Paris Exhibition of
1 S 55 ; of the London Exhibition of 1 SG 2 ; and of the Agricultural Concourse , at Paris , in 1 S 56 , receiving in each case the diplomas and gold medals presented to such jurors . He was similarly rewarded for his attendance at the Agricultural Exhibition of Sweden and Norway , held at Gothenburg , in 1 S 71 , and also received from the King ( Charles XV . ) the Cross of the Order of Vasa . In short , he was as much respected by his colleagues as he was
beloved by his family and friends , and no wonder . The self-made man of humble origin—of whom there are few now living , and likely to be fewer still—had raised himself to be a leader and benefactor of men . As a Mason , he took great interest in the Craft during his twenty years' connection with it . He was initiated in 1 S 62 in the Grove Lodge , Nof 410 , Ewell , Surrey , and rose to be its VV . M . He was joining member of Moria Lodr ? e
No . 92 , was exalted to the Royal Arch Degree in the Grove Chapter , No . 410 , and installed a Knight Templar in the Grove Encampment in 1 S 6 G . He was also a Life Governor of , and had served as a Festival Steward for each of our Charitable Institutions . We thank Bro . J . C . Amos for affording us the opportunity of showing our respect for so worthy a man and Craftsman as his late father .
