Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Railway System: Outlines of Its Early Development to the Year 1844 It is not a little remarkable that although the English people may claim to be the pioneers of railways, no adequate history of the developments of the British railway system has yet made its appearance. While making no pretence to fill this gap, the author hopes that the information given in this little book may prove useful to those who desire to know the origin of the various little railways which later on developed into the great companies of the present day. The subject of the nationalization of our railways has long been before the public, though hitherto it can hardly be said to have come within the range of practical politics. Recently, however, a Viceregal Commission appointed to consider the Irish railways reported in favour of their acquisition by the State, and now a Royal Commission is sitting to review the whole question with regard to British railways. Under these circumstances special interest attaches to the portions of our railways which are not purchasable under the terms of the Act of 1844, and are dealt with in the following pages.
