Abstract
This paper is the second of two papers based on research undertaken for the ICE Archive Panel book Biographical Dictionary of Civil Engineers in Great Britain and Ireland 1500–1830, which traces the development of the British civil engineering profession from the Middle Ages. It covers the era from the dawn of a mature profession in 1790 through the founding of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1820 to the opening of the world's first railway in 1830. In addition to identifying some of the leading practitioners and their works, the paper also looks in particular at their earnings and what those figures would equate to now.
