Excerpt from English Railways: Their Development and Their Relation to the State
The study was undertaken with the belief that a historical contribution to the railway question would have some practical value. It was carried out in a library that had been collected for the special purpose of railway research.1 It has been strictly limited to historical treatment, partly because the history was in itself a large subject, partly because it appeared that before modern railway problems could be studied the essential preliminary requirement was a statement of the historical facts unencumbered with judgments or Opinions on those problems.

Here and there it has been impossible to avoid comments which bear directly upon railway questions of the present time. But these do not affect the purely historical scope of the thesis. If only it is allowed that the facts have been adequately set out, then we shall be content to let others draw conclusions from them, and shall be well satisfied with having provided the necessary historical foundation upon which they may base their arguments.
