    Description

    Early Edition, Folding Plates, Illustrated, Rebound, Very Scarce

    The second edition of this very scare work.

    An interesting treatise attacking the Liverpool and Manchester Railway.

    In this work the author, Richard Cort, attempts to prove that the railway had not paid one percent net profit since its establishment in 1830. He claims that the railways of Birmingham, Bristol, Southampton, and Windsor, were and would remain bubble speculations. 

    With three folding tables.

    Condition

    Rebound in a modern cloth binding, with renewed endpapers. Externally, smart. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean with a few scattered spots. Title page is a little age-toned. Tears to the folding tables.
