Excerpt from The Appropriation of the Railways by the State: A Popular Statement, With a MapMost of the matter contained in the first five Chapters which follow, was published a few months since in the form of Letters to the 'Daily News.' It is right to add, that although that journal gave them a prominent place in its columns, it did not adopt in any way the views I put forward. The Letters have been enlarged and published in their present form at the instance of many readers, who have thought they should be brought more generally before the public.The further inquiries I have been led to make in preparing this little book for the press, and the important information afforded by the Second Report of the Irish Railways Commission have only strengthened my conviction that the course which I then urged is a wise one, that the longer its adoption is delayed, the graver will be the practical difficulties which undoubtedly attend its adoption, and the more serious will the mischief become which the present state of things is causing.It will be as well that I should here explain why I have ventured to write on a subject which lies outside my own profession.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
