To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus tram-roads might have been made to Birmingham for ^6146, 000, while the railroad has cost ^£6, 000, 000. ' Such a tramway w^as subsequently laid between Swansea and the Mumbles, and a passenger car (which I occasionally travelled by) drawn by a horse, and at one time propelled, to the best of my belief, by 14S ON THE TRACK OF THE MAIL-COACH steam, passed between both places twice daily, the fare being a shilling each way.
Thus there were, before the railways came, two routes for the mails,... if not three, from London into South Wales — (1) by Gloucester and Brecon ; (2) by Bristol and across the Severn from New Passage ; and (3) by Faringdon and Cirencester, and over the Severn by the Old or Aust Passage.
A good deal of interest attaches to the Passages ; that called New being as old as the Eoman occupa- tion of Britain, and the Old ferry being no more ancient than the seventeenth century.
Where the Bristol Channel narrows to the estuary of the Severn, the river Avon turns off due east, and makes Bristol, eight or ten miles inland, a sea- port.
