Synopsis
Excerpt from Time and the Hour, Vol. 4: December 12, 1896
So the precursor of the Subway may be found in the tunnel a mile and a half long which the Duke of Portland had dug years ago, at an expense of thousands of dollars, as the main avenue of approach to his famous residence, Wel beck Abbey, in Derbyshire, to the distress of philanthropists, who protested that he might have made far better use of his money than in an expenditure so vast for a mere freakish gratification. But yet the visitor to Welbeck Abbey rolled complacently through the tunnel to its portal; and in the onward progress of triumphant democracy the plain citi zens of Boston will perhaps be quite as much at home in tunnels as were the Duke of Portland and his friends.
