To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Or double the expence by the rail-way. But the distance by the road is only 22 miles, and by a proper rail-way would be no greater ; and this brings the comparative expence up very nearly to 2|d. A ton per mile. On the Monkland Canal, again, in the neighbourhood of Glasgow, the dis- tance from one of the coal pits to the Monkland basin is 101 miles, and the expence of transport 2s. 2d. , which is at the rate very nearly of 2id. Per ton.
Such then is the superiority of this new mode of con- veya...nce, over every other that has hitherto been invented.
F 42 In our next paper we shall follow out the details, and in particular give a view of the advantages that would result to the public from a rail-way between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
RAIL -WAY BETWEEN EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW.
[extracted FKOM the CALEDONIAN MERCURY. ] In our last paper, we illustrated the economy of rail- way conveyance, as compared with our present roads, and even with canal navigation. In respect to the latter, we have another striking example in the conveyance of goods between Glasgow and Edinburgh through the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals; the expence of this runs from 15 to 24 shillings per ton ; it may be averaged at 21 shil- lings ; and the joint length of the two canals being nearly 57 miles, this is at the rate of 4|d.
