"Although most i>eople have some conception and experience of the miracle of the age 

 known as tlic railw.ay, there are few who have even a general understanding of it, and fewer 

 still who possess definite knowledge of its ramifications and details. Some such summary as 

 Mr. .Ackworth gives is requisite to convey a re.1l and lasting impression ot the immensity of 

 the organiz.\tion and its daily effect upon the present conditions of lite.'—Birmirtg/iam Daily 

 Gazette. ■' 



" ke.ally a most readable volume. The writer has seized on the points most likely to 

 interest his readers." — Spectator. 



" For indefatigable search after the tnith about our raiiro.ad system, for picturesque and 

 interesting statement, for discriminating judgment, and for patient investigation of detail, 

 ' The Railways of England ' stands unequalled in railw.ay literature. It is a valuable estimate 

 of the work wliich e.ach of the principal companies h.as done for itself and for the travelling 

 public." — Guardian.

"The interest and value of this biography of a devoted and able missionary are of a high 

 order. ' ' — Scotsman. 



" The book is full of valuable information both for those who are interested in the history 

 of Indian missions and for such as wish to study the history of British rule and misrule in> 

 India." — Glasgatu Herald. 



" Dr. George Smith is, indeed, quite an ideal historiographer of the missions of hi.s Cburcb 

 in Ind.a. It is fortunate in every way that the biography of Hislop should have been under- 

 taken by the same author, to whom we arc also indebted for the life of William Carey." 



Alhemeum. 



"It would have been difficult to find anyone better fitted for the task of writing this 

 biography than Dr. Smith. Missions that can bo.ast of missionaries of the stamp of Stephen 

 Hislop cannot be altogether a failure."— /*«// Mall Gasttte.
