' McAdam's efforts largely contributed to produce that network of mail-coach communications which, for some years 

 bffore railways were introduced, greatly advanced the nation's prosperity and prepared the way for the railway system. 

 His process was adopted in all parts of the civilised world. The name of the inventor became the synonym for the 

 invention, and derivatives like 'macadamise' were universally accepted.' J). X B. 



His mtmory has been badly used, for the present way of tipping large-sized lumps of granite over the highway 

 anyhow, and flattening it out by a steam-roller, is only a caricature of his method.

4 By far the most important of his scanty remains is the memoir on surfaces of the second order. His geometrical work
