Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed account of the design, construction, and operation of London's Metropolitan District Railway. This was one of the earliest underground railways in the world and its evolution is placed in the wider context of urban development in Victorian London. The author… provides extensive and well-illustrated technical information on the original construction as well as subsequent extensions and modifications to the line and its stations. The role of the Metropolitan District Railway in the growth of London's suburbs and the challenges of working and maintaining a busy underground railway in a densely populated urban setting are also examined. This book provides a valuable record of the engineering achievements involved in the construction of a pioneering and iconic piece of Victorian infrastructure. It will be of interest to urban historians, railway enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the impact of railways on urban growth in the 19th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Letterhead in black and red ink. In fair condition, aged and worn, with creasing at head. A sensitive letter of condolence, beginning: 'Dear Willy | I was so shocked to hear on Thursday of the great loss you have sustained, and I hesitated to write to you, for letters of condolence are such empty useless th…ings. But on the other hand I dont want you to suppose that I feel indifferent to anything that touches you so closely & deeply. We have been such sympathetic friends for so long, that tho I did not know your father, he too seemed almost like an old friend.' The letter concludes with a rumination on mortality, Dredge finding sympathy 'not wholly useless but [] a poor thing in the presence of death'. Note: This letter derives from a collection of letters of condolence to the Forbes family on the death of William Forbes, father of Stanhope Forbes, founder of the Newlyn School of Art whose brother was "William".
