The Chester and Holyhead Railway and its Prospects, by William Morgan 62157 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/1/5/62157 ] [Files: 62157-0.txt; 62157-h.htm] For those wishing to know: the construction of the Chester to Holyhead railway had been a lot more difficult than anticipated and by the late 1840's the shareholders were starting to get worried as the complex job of bridging the Menai Straits hadn't been accomplished. Shares prices dropped and William Morgan, a shareholder, wrote this short pamphlet to encourage his fellow shareholders to stick with it as it was almost done. It's interesting what he cites as being the huge income sources when the line opens. All the best, David England, blue skies but misty clouds
