Ever since a date even earlier than that at which Beiitham seditor, Sir John Bowring, called meetings to advocate the State Purchase of Railways, I have favoured wthe reform which Mr. Clement Edwards with much forces urges, but have feared so great is the power of the Companies in Parliament that we should be made to zpay for it too high a price. The author of Raikvay Nationalization seems not only i to have proved his theoretic case, but to have partly met %my doubts or practical objections. A greeing as I do with most of what he has written, except, indeed, as to :that growth of cities which we cannot prevent, and which 2M elbourne, Sydney, A delaide, and Perth show to be no unmixed evil, I am happy to do aught I can to help him to readers, who, however, will be drawn to him by his oC Osubject and by his vigour, without this little prefatory note.
