This fascinating report from a select committee of the House of Commons explores the benefits and drawbacks of various forms of transportation in the mid-19th century. From the comparative speed and safety of railroads to the challenges of navigation and road travel, the report presents a detailed analysis of the state of inland transit in Victorian England. It also includes testimony from leading experts and inventors, including George Stephenson.
