LIFE OF THOMAS TELFOED. 



WITH A HISTORY OF ROADS AND TRAVELLING IN ENGLAND. 

 By SAMUEL SMILES. 



New Edition, Woodcuts. Post 8vo. Gs. 



" From this volume, read in connection with 

 the lives of George and Robert Stephenson, in 

 which the oiigin and extension of railways is 

 described, an idea may be formed of the ex- 

 traordinar}' progress which has been made in 

 opening up the internal communications of 

 this countr}' during the last century. Among 

 the piincipal works executed by "Telford in 

 the course of liis life were the great highwaj's 

 constructed by him in North Wales and the 

 Scotch Highlands, through districts formerly 



almost inaccessible, but which are now as 

 easily traversed as any English county. By 

 means of these roads, and the facilities afforded 

 by railways, the many are now enabled to visit 

 with ease and comfort magnificent mountain 

 scenery, which before was onlj- the costly pri- 

 ■\ilege of the few ; at the same time that their 

 construction has exercised a most beneficial 

 influence on the population of the districts 

 themselves.' ' — Preface.

"A narrative of the highest interest for the 

 student of historj-, in which we see the policy 

 and secret motives of the German Courts as 

 clearly as they were seen by theu' kings ; the 

 ideas with wliich they went to war, the reasons 

 for their many faUm-es, the justifications for 



their few successes, tlie causes not only of their 

 action against France, but of the still greater 

 sjnchi-onous movement, the absoi-ption of Po- 

 land.
