Excerpt from Railway Practice: A Collection of Working Plans and Practical Details of Construction in the Public Works of the Most Celebrated Engineers
This early impression on the author's mind was confirmed by the opinion of gentlemen the best qualified to decide on such a question, and it became conviction when he was assured by his intelligent publisher, that inquiries after such works were frequent, and the demand for information connected with them urgent. Satisfied, therefore, as to the paucity of such information, and the consequent value of any particulars descriptive of the minutiae of this most important branch of engineering, he could not hesitate as to the propriety of producing his Railway Practice, to which he now solicits the favourable notice of the reader.
