OUR RAILWAYS. By J. G. Adams and C. A. Elliott.

(Blackie and Son. is. 6d.) OUR RAILWAYS. By J. G. Adams and C. A. Elliott. (Blackie and Son. is. 6d.) A pleasant little volume, which quite succeeds in suggesting the romance of machinery and industry, as well as giving a narrative account of railways from the first attempts of Stephenson to the achievement of the latest loading-gauge. The authors are hard put to it not to be sophisticated about steam.
