    Description

    First Edition, Very Scarce

    The first edition.

    Vanishingly scarce work.

    Ordered by the House of Commons, this report was presented in 1821 by a select committee appointed to consider the current acts regarding turnpike roads and highways in England and Wales. With the report itself, a list of witnesses, minutes of evidence and an appendix.

    Notably, the report discusses the efficacy of different types of wheels, considering 3 inch, 4 inch and six inch variations, recommending the usage of wheels with 6 inch width or higher.

    A similar report regarding the state of turnpike roads in Ireland was published a decade later.

    Condition
