''Ma biographical account written in the late 19th century. This memoir details the life of Fleeming Jenkin, an English engineer and inventor, exploring his background, family history, and the various influences that shaped him into a remarkable individual whose contributions, though perhaps lesser-known, were significant. At the start of the memoir, Stevenson sets the stage by providing a thorough genealogical background of the Jenkin family, emphasizing their historical significance and establishing the circumstances surrounding Fleeming's birth and early life. He introduces Fleeming's ancestors, detailing their fortunes and misfortunes, including Aunt Anne Frewen's substantial but ultimately deceptive inheritance. As he chronicles Fleeming's formative years, the narrative takes us through the intricacies of family dynamics, unexpected financial ruin, and the colorful personalities that defined his upbringing, hinting at the rich, complex character Fleeming would develop as he navigated both personal and professional challenges.
