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. I have been materially aided in this work by the engineers of tramways, who have kindly placed their plans and specifications at my service; and by the secretaries and mana gers, who have supplied me with copies of their accounts.

I believe the results of these analyses will be found of essential service, in showing how the capital has been laid out, how the daily expenses are incurred, and in what directions economy of expenditure is to be effected.
