Between the fiftieth and sixtieth years of Mr. Fairbairn's life he was very active, chiefly in directing the practical work of his two manufactories, in Manchester and in London. A special notice of these establishments will be given in a subsequent chapter. He did not, however, neglect his scientific pursuits, as he wrote, during this period, several important papers for different learned societies, on the strength of cast-iron, on the steam-engine, on the prevention of smoke, &c. &c. In 1841 he was applied to, at the suggestion of the government, to give advice as to the best means of preventing accidents to workpeople in factories by their getting entangled in the machinery. It was considered advisable that mill-owners should be compelled to box or fence off...
