Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Proposed England and India Railway: A Letter to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, First Lord of the Treasury
The construction of an unbroken line of railway connecting the railway system of England with that of India, and at the same time uniting the principal States of Europe and Asia, is an undertaking of such importance that if carried out it would tend more to the benefit of mankind than any work that has been accomplished for centuries past.
The idea of such a work is by some persons considered Utopian, others however will say, it may be accomplished in the distant future, and whilst few have the remotest idea of what immense benefit such a work would be, fewer still are at all aware how easily this important undertaking can be carried out, at what a comparatively tri?ing cost, and in what a short space of time.
