    Description

    Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    The 1848 volume of this vanishingly scarce almanack, which combines practical railway information with extensive data relevant to railway investors and shareholders. 

    It included timetables, railway company directories, maps, fare tables, financial statistics, lists of directors, and legislative details concerning rail transport.

    The 1848 edition reflects the peak of "Railway Mania" in Britain, serving both as a travel resource and a financial guide for those involved in the expanding railway industry.

    Lacking the map called for to the title page.

    With a contemporary inscription to the front free endpaper head.

    With advertisements to front and rear endpapers and pastedowns.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding. Back strip age toned, with bumping to back strip head and tail. Inscription to front free endpaper head. Internally, firmly bound. Pages a touch age toned due to paper type, but clean. Lacking the map.

    Very Good
