Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Report of a Meeting of the Members of the Submarine Continental Railway Company Limited: Held at the Charing Cross Hotel, on Friday the 20th January, 1882 The Chairman said, - Gentlemen, this is a meeting of the members of the Submarine Continental Railway Company. It is not a public meeting, and therefore I shall be enabled to-day, with your kind permission, to speak probably at some greater length and with less embarrassment than if I were addressing an assembly a portion of which had an interest not the interest of this undertaking. (Hear, hear.) I think you will agree with me, gentlemen, that to connect the Continent with England is a work without an equal among all the labours until now accomplished by the hand of man. I cannot myself realise, either a better, or a greater, work, and it seems to me that the only question left with regard to it is - its practicability. Can it be constructed cheaply, quickly and safely, by such an union of interests on the two sides of the Channel - essential to the permanent success of any enterprise of the kind. I know there are some - I was going to say old-fashioned - people, who think that to connect Europe and England would be damaging to England.
