Excerpt from Tramways, Their Construction and Working: Embracing a Comprehensive History The object of this book is mainly to place before engineers, capitalists, and financiers, a succinct analysis of the past practice and the present achievements in tramways in the United Kingdom, as works of engineering, and as money making concerns.
