FLEMING, SIR SANDFORD (1827- )

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 495 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FLEMING, SIR SANDFORD (1827- ) , Canadian engineer and publicist, was born at Kirkcaldy,
Scotland
 , on the 7th of January 1827, but emigrated to Canada in 1845.
Great
 
powers
  of
work
  and thoroughness in detail brought him to the front, and he was from 1867 to r88o
chief
  engineer of the Dominion government. Under his
control
  was constructed the Inter-colonial railway, and much of the Canadian Pacific. After his retirement in 188o he devoted himself to the study of Canadian and Imperial problems, such as the unification of time reckoning throughout the world, and the construction of a state-owned
system
  of telegraphs throughout the British empire. After
years of labour he saw the first link forged in the chain, in the opening in 1902 of the Pacific Cable between Canada and Australia. Though not a party man he strongly advocated Federation in 18641867, and in 1891 vehemently attacked the Liberal policy of unrestricted reciprocity with the United States. He took the deepest
interest
  in education, and in 188o became
chancellor
  of Queen's University, Kingston.
He published The Intercolonial: a History (Montreal and London, 1876) ; England and Canada (London, 1884) ; and numerous brochures and magazine articles on scientific, social and political subjects.
