Kelley, publishers of New York from the Second 1855 American Printing from Harper & Brothers, Publishers of New York. It treats the subject of Railway management, prospects and relations, commercial, financial and social with an exposition of the practical results of the railways in operation in the United Kingdom, on the Continent and in America. A quotation from Abbe Raynal : Let us travel over all the countries of the Earth, and where we shall find no facility of passing from a city to a town, or from a village to a hamlet, there we may pronounce the people to be barbarians. is given on the title page which may indicate the French lack of perception for the impoverished. Sir Francis Bacon is also quoted and his sentiment that ? There be three things which make a Nation great and prosperous; fertile soil, busy workshops, and easy conveyance of men and things from one place to another,? seems more inclusive and perceptive despite the fact that it was written two centuries before the advent of the Railway!* A NEAR FINE text copy of the 1st thus with minimal wear but no dust jacket.* 1968-08-01. n.
