ON IMPROVEMENT BY RAIL-ROADS AND 

 CANALS. 



Extract from an article in ttie New York Review for April 1840, 



In the meanwhile, it has occurred to us that 

 great misaj)plications of capiial might be prevent- 

 ed, it' ihe public could be induced to examine, 

 more closely ihan it has hitherto done, the dilierenl 

 eubjecls oi enitrprise presented to its attention in 

 ourcouniry. Various and extensive as our schemes 

 are, there seems to us necessity lor care in the se- 

 lection of objects on the part olthe public, propor- 

 tionate to the want ol' it in our stale legislatures. 

 At the present rates of interest in this country and 

 in Europe, it is obvious that the most promising 

 enterprises only should be undertaken. Ol' ihese, 

 some may be fit objects tor execution by a state, 

 but not by individuals ; and in cases where lines of 

 improvement properly carried out promise large 

 results, disappointment may ensue ifihey be execu- 

 ted on an ineligible plan, or on a scale incommensu- 

 rate or more than commensurate with the object. 

 We are induced to avail ourselves of the publica- 

 tion of Mr. Chevalier, at the head of this article 

 as a text to present some reflections on this sub- 

 ject. The philosophic and comprehensive mind 

 of the writer generalizes, in the lollovving sketch, 

 the object ol improvement in the United Slates : 

 ''The territory of the United Stales consists, 

 first, of the two great interior basins of the Missis- 

 sippi, and of the St. Lawrence, which descend, 

 one Irom the north towards the south into the 

 Gulf of Mexico, the other from the south towards 

 the north into the bay to which it gives its name; 

 secondly, on its eastern coast, of a system of lesser 

 basins which discharge into the Atlantic, and the 

 principal of which are, those of the Connecticut, the 

 Hudson, the Delaware, iheSusquehannah, the Po-^
