Excerpt from The Road
Even at the present wonder-working period, few greater improvements have been made in any of the useful arts, than in those applied tot he systems of travelling by land. Projectors and projects have multiplied with our years, and the fairy-petted princes of the Arabian Nights' Entertainments were scarcely transported from place to place with more facility or despatch, than Englishmen are at the present moment. From Liverpool to Manchester, thirty-Six miles, in an hour and a half! - surely Dædalus is come amongst as again: but we will, for the present, confine our observations to the road, to coaches, coach-horses, coachmen, and coach-masters.
