Economics with special reference toR ailways, which I gave at theM idland Railway I nstitute, Derby, and at the University of Sheffield, during the past winter. Each week a resume of the lecture was published inT heR ailway News, and these resumes form the basis of the book. I owe my best thanks toM r. Frederick MD ermott, theE ditor ofT heR ailway News, for kindly allowing me to make what use I wanted of the resumes. I have revised the whole of them, eliminated the lecture form, divided the matter up into chapters, re-written certain portions, and made various additions and alterations. I have approached railway problems from the standpoint of an economist, and have sought to show how the economic principles which underlie business and industry in general apply to railways in particular.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written by a notable economist, presents a unique perspective on the economics of the railway industry. The author approaches railway problems from an economic standpoint, demonstrating how the economic principles that underlie business and industry in general apply to railways in particular.
