Excerpt from Railway Rates and Traffic: Translated From the Third (1907) Edition of C. Colson's "Transport Et Tarifs"

IN presenting this abridged translation Of M. Colson's famous work, Transports et Tarifs, the writer Of this note would record the thanks Of the translators, firstly, to Mr. W. M. Acworth - who has very kindly written the Introduction - for inspiring the translation, and, secondly, to the London School of Economics for co-operation in giving effect to this inspiration. For it was entirely due to Mr. Acworth's kindly remarks on the series of five articles (included in Part which appeared in the Railway Gazette in the early part of last year, and his Observations that the trans lation might serve a useful purpose in book form, that the writer and his colleagues were led favourably to consider the translation Of further sections Of M. Colson's valuable work.

The primary intention was merely to deal with the sections of general interest (parts I. And but on the suggestion Of the London School of Economics that a short sketch Of the practice in various countries would be of utility, other fragments relevant have been incorporated in the work (parts II. And these serving to indicate the prime characteristics of the railway rates question in the particular countries.
