Excerpt from Appendix to Railway Practice: Containing a Copious Abstract of the Whole of the Evidence Given Upon the London and Birmingham, and Great Western Railway Bills, When Before Parliament, Properly Digested and Arranged, With Marginal Notes
The valuable nature of the Engineering Evidence, lately given in the Committee Rooms of the Houses of Parliament, being generally admitted, no apology is required for an Abstract or Digest of the same.
The Author begs merely to remark, that he is fully sensible that the importance of the subject required a more experienced hand; and although he was in some measure aware of the difficulties of the task when he undertook it, (from a knowledge that several professional gentlemen had commenced arranging the Evidence, and afterwards abandoned it) yet they have far exceeded his anticipations, notwithstanding he trusts the result of his labors will not prove unacceptable to the Profession and the Public generally.
A Glossary of Technical Terms used in Civil Engineering is added.
