"For many years Sir W. Siemens has been a regular attendant at our meetings, and to few, indeed, have they been more indebted for success. Whatever the occasion, he had always new and interesting ideas, put forth in language which a child could understand. It is no exaggeration to say that the life of such a man was spent in the public service."--LORD RAYLEIGH at British Association, 1884.
