Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines plans for two competing railway lines to be constructed between Edinburgh and Glasgow. The author argues that both proposals are based on overly optimistic financial projections, and identifies several errors in the calculations of anticipated revenue and expenses. The author compares these plans to a previously built railway and two existing canals to highlight the uncertainty and risks involved in railway investments. The author concludes that the proposed railways are unlikely to be profitable and warns potential shareholders to carefully consider the financial risks before investing. Despite the author's skepticism, this book provides valuable insights into the early development of railway technology and the challenges faced by investors in this emerging industry.

1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. He acknowledges Wilson's 'kind letter regarding Dalglish', who 'suffered a good deal during the latter weeks of his life, but I am glad to say that even then he still retained that brightness of disposition of which you speak'. Dalglish will be 'greatly missed by many book buyers in the West of Scotland and we, personally, will find his place very hard to fill.' Wylie is 'taking a liberty' in sending Wilson's letter to Dalglish's widow: 'I am sure she will be glad to know that her husband left such a pleasant mark on the younger of his contemporaries'. He ends in the hope that 'time continues to deal kindly' with Wilson. For information on Wilson, who was born in Glasgow and served his apprenticeship there with the firm of John Smith & Son, see his entry in the Oxford DNB.…
