Cooley (Chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission). This work was first published in 1888 and this reprint is from the 1897 edition. DJ has some wear, soiling, edge tears and chips. The American Railway provides an exciting look at the railroad industry in the 1880s and how it developed as the business boomed. Originally published in 1888, it contains a thorough history of how railroads were built, the types of railways, the lives of railway workers, the various ways the railway affected political and business economics, as well as the safety precautions of people who rode or worked with the railway system. You'll also find more than two hundred hand-drawn illustrations-visual representations of great steam engines, graceful bridges, life in a Pullman car, railway accidents, views of track construction, and portraits of railroad pioneers and magnates of the times-and stories from real rail workers. Learn how far we've come from such humble beginnings and grow to have a newfound appreciation for the railways that paved our country's future.

"Originality is the dream and quest of every bookmaker. To be accused of copying another book is to him the worst of condemnations. Yet in this volume we have purposely avoided originality to a certain degree and risked having the label of imitation placed on the fruit of our labors. The 1941 Scarlet Letter resembles in many respects its predecessor of two years ago, the 1939 edition of the Rutgers yearbook, but it was not without a clear understanding of what copying meant that this book was conceived and executed. In discarding the modern style of typography and paper so common to yearbooks, the 1939 Scarlet Letter editors produced a book of beauty and permanence which earned the applause of the entire bookmaking profession. Many of the best features of our predecessor we have incorporated into this volume, along with numoerious and varied improvements we have seen fit to make. No changes have been made merely for the sake of variety or individuality, but, rather, a desire for the best possible volume of a bookish and permanent type has been the aim throughout. The year 1941 marks the one hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of Rutgers University. We have felt honored and privileged to have tghe opportunity to record so important a year in the annals of this ancient institution and have given much thought to properly handling the task. To commemorate that anniversary we have tried to portray the history of Rutgers in the chapter divider pictures and chapter introductions. Thus we present our 1941 edition of The Scarlet Letter. It tells the story not of one year but of one hundred and seventy-five. We hope it will long be cherished by its readers as the long-range, permanent record of Old Queen's for which it was intended . - The Editors" - from the Preface.

Includes for example the following illustrations: Chartres / Lyons / Brussels / Louvain / Tournai / Igel / Mayence / Bamberg / Ratisbon / Dresden / Prague / Milan / Venice / Rome / Geneva / Sion etc. Samuel Prout (1783-1852) was a British watercolourist, and one of the masters of watercolour architectural painting. Prout secured the position of Painter in Water-Colours in Ordinary to King George IV in 1829 and afterwards to Queen Victoria. John Ruskin, whose work often emulated Prout's, wrote in 1844, "Sometimes I tire of Turner, but never of Prout". Prout is often compared to his contemporaries; Turner, Gainsborough, Constable and Ruskin, whom he taught. He was the uncle of the artist John Skinner Prout. (Wikipedia) Sprache: english.
