Transcriber's note: The following has been moved from the beginning
of the book to the end.
=By the same Author.=
=Railroads and Railroad Questions.= 12mo, cloth, $1 25. The volume
treats of "The Genesis of the Railroad System," "Accidents," and
the "Present Railroad Problem." The author has made himself the
acknowledged authority on this group of subjects. If his book goes
only to those who are interested in the ownership, the use, or the
administration of railroads, it is sure of a large circle of readers.
"A most interesting and important work."--_Railway World._
"Characterized by broad, progressive, liberal ideas."--_Railway
Review._
"The entire conclusions are of great value."--_N.Y. Journal of
Commerce._
