To the ordinary observer, Siemens did not betray any signs of the untiring energy that possessed him.

In his manner, as well as in his works, there was no useless waste of power.
His individuality had so much to do with the course of the government, the powers placed in his hands were so vast, and his energy so untiring, that it is difficult to exaggerate the importance of his influence upon the destiny of the country which he 'vas permitted to rule. It is for this reason that we have been at great pains to present his picture, sketched as it were by his own hand.
