Editing Fleeming Jenkin (section)

===Professor at London and Edinburgh===
"In 1866, Jenkin was appointed as professor (chair<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=J4U9AQAAIAAJ|title=Scientific American|date=1885-07-11|publisher=Munn & Company|pages=16|language=en}}</ref>) of engineering at [[University College London]]. Two years later his prospects suddenly
improved. The partnership began to pay and he was selected to fill the newly established [[Regius Professor of Engineering (Edinburgh)|Regius Chair of Engineering]] at Edinburgh University. He wrote to his wife: 'With you in the garden (at Claygate), with Austin in the coach-house, with pretty songs in the little low white room, with the moonlight in the dear room upstairs—ah! it was perfect; but the long walk, wondering, pondering, fearing, scheming, and the dusty jolting railway, and the horrid fusty office, with its endless disappointments, they are well gone. It is well enough to fight, and scheme, and bustle about in the eager crowd here (in London) for a while now and then; but not for a lifetime. What I have now is just perfect. Study for winter, action for summer, lovely country for recreation, a pleasant town for talk.'"<ref name=munro/>{{rp|¶ 48}}

"The following June he was on board the ''[[SS Great Eastern|Great Eastern]]'' while she laid the [[French Atlantic cable]] from [[Brest, France|Brest]] to [[Saint-Pierre and Miquelon|Saint-Pierre]]. Among his shipmates were Sir William Thomson, Sir [[James Anderson (thinker)|James Anderson]], C. F. Varley, [[Latimer Clark]] and [[Willoughby Smith]]. Jenkin's sketches of Clark and Varley are remarkable. At Saint-Pierre they arrived in a fog which lifted to show their consort, the ''William Cory'', straight ahead, and the ''Gulnare'' signalling a welcome. Jenkin observed that the whole island was electrified by the battery at the telegraph station."<ref name=munro/>{{rp|¶ 50}}
