x, 147pp, three large fold-out maps 34x22, half bound in calf over textured boards. Ex lib, with discreet stamps, calf on spine is in poor repair and splitting. The maps have been carefully mounted on stiff cloth, and are therefore in particularly good condition. The Royal Commission spent a number of years on its investigations, including several visits to cities in Europe and North America to see what other countries were doing to manage the problems that were bedevilling London. The eventual completed project runs to 8 Volumes in total, with the Report itself being Volume I, and containing a substantial number of detailed recommendations for improvements, and a new authority to put them into practice (this was not done - instead responsibility was given to a new London Traffic Branch of the Board of Trade). From 1908 annual reports were published by the London Traffic Branch, showing what progress had been made to implement the recommendations.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
