Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Development of Transportation in Modern England, Vol. 1 In offering this work as a modest contribution to our knowledge of the economic development of England from the standpoint of transportation, the author must say, in the first place, that he has endeavoured to adhere rigidly to the subject in hand, without making deviations into collateral fields. It is impossible to study at first hand and from original sources such a comprehensive subject as this without being impressed by its intimate and vital connexion with the other phases of the national evolution; and it has required much self-restraint to keep from branching out farther into a discussion of the relation of transportation to the progress of agriculture, the growth of markets, the advance of industry, the increase of wealth, and many other economic and social factors which have affected the welfare of different classes of the people and of the nation as a whole. In the collecting of material for these volumes during almost a decade, a wealth of information has been accumulated upon the other great aspects of the nation´s expansion; and it is with much regret that this account of the facilities of conveyance and communication could not be amplified so as to trace more minutely the outworking of cause and effect along all these lines. Contrary to the wishes of some who are interested in this subject, whole chapters, for the writing of which the material is already in hand and outlined, have had to be omitted, and to these friends I tender my sincere apologies for failure to do what would have given me so much satisfaction. The voluminous amounts of material have demanded judicious selection and unbiased sifting of evidence; and, in the process of elimination, the hopes of some who have looked forward to the appearance of this work will be disappointed when they find meagre, if any, mention of certain aspects of the subject, which I would gladly have elaborated had space permitted. Such excision has been necessitated in order to keep within reasonable limits. A few words are required in regard to the definition of the field covered.
