Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the Royal Colonial Institute, 1903-1904, Vol. 35: Part 6 The chairman I have much pleasure now in asking Mr. Shel ford to address us. He is well known to many of you. Mr. Shelford is connected with the firm of Messrs. Shelford Son, who are consulting engineers to the Crown Agents for the Colonies, a distinguished firm, who in the past have done very good work both for the Colonial Office and for others in this country. He himself has visited many of the territories concerning which he is about to speak, and indeed I believe that with regard to railway construction he has been a pioneer in having examined the country and the land where subsequently the railways have been constructed. Speaking for myself, I come here as a pupil, as one who is anxious to learn all he can from the information the lecturer is about to impart to us.
