Our Iron Roads - Their History, Construction and Social Influences
Frederick S. Williams Ingram, Cooke & Co., London · 1852
First Edition. Lovely, bright copy of this important early account of the origins of the railways. 390pp, incl. many illustrations. Original russet cloth with gilt vignette of James Watt's locomotive to front cover, elaborate gilt and blind-stamped decoration elsewhere.
Lemon end-papers, top edge uncut. Wear with minor loss at top of spine and vague foxing to margins passim else a really smart copy of this classic work.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
