 tion of fuel, without destruction to the Apparatus ; and B. and H.

JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING IMPROVEMENTS, MECHANICAL INVENTIONS, 



PUBLIC WORKS, &c. 



There has beev created within the last ten years a Productive Property iv Railways amounting to more than Sixty 

 Million's sterling, with a Revenue of nearly Six Millions per Annum. This addition to the wealth and resources of England 

 has been produced by the Investment of the funds of nearly Fifty Thousand Individuals, who form the Railway Constituency of 

 Great Britain. It affords employment to a great body of our Workmen, tends to the development of our industrial Capabilties, and 

 is a boon to the whole travelling Population. 



It is strongly felt that Railway property, involving interests so extensive, should not be exposed to the injurious effects which the 

 want of sound information and the circulation of erroneous statements for party purposes so constantly produce ; and it has 

 appeared, to those most capable of judging, that the mutual interests of the Proprietary, the Managers, and the Railway Executive, 

 and the Public interests with which they are identified, have as yet found no organ in which they can be fairly discussed and satis- 

 factory adjusted. The Katltoan UTfironicIe has been projected to supply this deficiency, by the establishment op an authentic 



AND IMPAHTIAL MKOIUM OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ALL THE MEMBERS OP THE GREAT RAILWAY COMMUNITY; having 



especially in view the free communication of useful information, the promotion of the common interests and the general circulation 

 of sound intelligence in all that relates to Railway property. 



The Conductors of the Katltoaj) <Tf)ronfcle are men of practical experience, who possess peculiar facilities for obtaining theearliest 

 information, and who will use their anxious endeavours to advance, in everyway, the great interests of Railway property, avoiding 

 all indulgence of personal feeling, the expression of party prejudice, or the advancement of exclusive interests; — they desire, in 

 short, to furnish an unbiassed Chronicle of facts, and a fair arena for the discussion of important opinions and principles. 



The Katltoan (JTfjrottfcIC will contain the earliest and most authentic information on the following subjects:— 



THE CONDITION AND PROSPECTS OF RAILWAYS NOW 

 IN USE. 



POSITION, PROGRESS, AND VALUE OF FOREIGN RAIL- 

 WAYS. 



PROGRESS OF RAILWAYS IN EXECUTION. 



PROJECTED NEW RAILWAYS. 



THE TRAFFIC AND REVENUE OF RAILWAYS. 



THE ECONOMY OF WORKING AND EXPENDITURE. 



THE VALUE OF SHARES. 



PAYMENT OF CALLS, DIVIDENDS, AND DEBENTURES. 



THE PROCEEDINGS AT RAILWAY MEETINGS, WITH THE 

 DOCUMENTS LAID BEFORE SUCH MEETINGS. 



WEEKLY REPORTS ON THE MONEY AND SHARE 

 MARKETS. 



THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF TRADE AND 

 OTHER PUBLIC OR MUNICIPAL BODIES, SO FAR 

 AS THEY AFFECT THE INTERESTS OF RAILWAY 

 PROPERTY. 



PARLIAMENTARY RAILWAY PROCEEDINGS. 

 RAILWAY LEGAL INFORMATION. 

 CONTRACTS FOR EXECUTION OF WORK. 

 STATE OF THE IRON TRADE. 



ENGINEERING WORKS OF MERIT ON RAILWAYS AT 



HOME AND ABROAD. 

 ENGINEERING IMPROVEMENTS ON RAILWAYS AT 



HOME AND ABROAD. 

 MECHANICAL INVENTIONS RELATING TO RAILWAYS

ANY SUBJECTS AFFECTING

 RAILWAYS ARE DIS-

To eludicate which, Illustrative Maps and Engravings will be given, when necessary. 



Arrangements have been made for the purpose of supplying in the Hatltoap *Tf)r(mtc[C the earliest information concerning the 

 French Railways {the figures being in English money), in which so much. British capital is now invested, and the other Railways 

 on the Continent which are in progress or in prospect. Intelligence will leave Paris every week in time for insertion in the 

 Eailtoan Chronicle, which will thus contain the transactions in the Paris Railway Stocks, and receipts of the various lines up to 

 the latest hour, and furnish the earliest notice of whatever may affect the British holder. 



Weekly Reports from the London, Liverpool, Manchester, and Northern Share Markets will afford the Capitalist the means of 

 judging of the condition of Railway investments. 



Another peculiar feature of the fiatltDap Chronicle is to consist in a series of papers on each of the Great British Railways— in 

 which the Past History, Present Condition, and Future Prospects of every Railway will be concisely developed. It is hardly to be 



successive Numbers of the Katltoap CfirontCle. For those who are now becoming subscribers for the first time to a Railway Paper, 

 this feature is impoitant, as it will enable them rapidly to obtain an acquaintance with the whole of the existing lines. 



To Capitalists, Bankers, Solicitors, Stock-brokers, Insurance Companies, and all who hold Money for investment, 

 the Eatltoag Cfjronicle will furnish such sound unprejudiced information as shall enable them at once to make a judicious choice for 

 the investment of funds at their disposal. 



To Engineers, the fiailtoap <£j)rotitele will afford information on all points of Practical Engineering that may tend to the 

 advancement of the profession, and to the perfection of that Railway communication which their talents have placed in its present 

 admirable condition, and which it remains for their skill to render more available to the Public, and therefore more beneficial to the 

 Shareholder. Through this channel of intercommunication every intelligent person will have an opportunity of contributing to the 

 common stock of knowledge, and consequently to the general welfare. 



To Contractors, Manufacturers, Inventors, and Practical Engineers and Mechanics, the Katltoao (Chronicle will 



Thus the columns of the fiaumap tf: granule will open a market for the labour of the Contractor, the inventions of the Mechanist 

 and the commodities of the Mauuiacturing Engineer. 



Will be published EVERY
