Item description from seller

Folio, (295mm.), p.(189-)214. +4p commercial adverts. A large engraving on the front cover and 38 engravings throughout the text. Original self-wrappers, extreme fore-edges slightly frayed. Containing a short proposal for the construction of a railway bridge across the English Channel by John G. Winton with a large cross-section engraving on the front cover - a proposal perhaps no less ridiculous than Boris Johnson's similar idea ridiculed by An engineering expert in The Conversation of 19 January, 2018.

Store description

We are located some 20 minutes drive from the M6, Junction 38 and therefore only a 20 mile detour from the main England-Scotland route. Appleby is a town well worth a visit, the coffee pot is always on though refreshment with ¿a little more authority' can be had if the Crown & Cushion in the town's market square is open! Our Bookroom is open by appointment. We will be happy to send pdf copies of our catalogue by email.
