THE RAILWAYS OF SCOTLAND.

THEIR PRESENT POSITION, WITH A GLANCE AT THEIR PAST, AND A FORECAST OF THEIR FUTURE.

With a Map of the Scottish Railway System. Crown 8vo. 5s.

"Mr. Acworth has lost no time in following up his interesting book on English railways with a very readable companion volume. This is a concise review of the past history of Scottish railway enterprise, and a suggestive survey of the present outlook, with its notable activity of competition and exploitation. From both aspects Mr. Acworth's book, with its admirable map of existing lines and lines in progress, is eminently satisfactory. Burning questions of amalgamation or of competitive and retaliatory policies are treated with discretion. They are discussed, as was inevitable, but discussed within sober and proper bounds."--Saturday Review.
