Excerpt from Letter to George Carr Glyn, Esq., M. P., Chairman of the London and North Western Railway Company One of the latest is addressed to yourself. The previous occupation of the writer, as Secretary of the South Eastern Railway Com pany, and the acquaintance with the Arcana of Railway management which such a position implies, invest this publication with rather more importance than usually attaches to similar brochures while the dogmatical spirit in which it is written, may lead a reader, unacquainted with the subject, to attach a weight to the opi nions expressed in it which they do not deserve. The fallacies contained in this letter have indeed been reproduced from time to time in various forms, and the present attempt contains nothing that has not been frequently asserted, and as often repelled; as, however, the excitement now existing in regard to every department of Rail way Executive may lend currency to the views of the writer, it may be useful to consider one or two of the points in this pamphlet. Such an examination need not be long, and my avocations forbid my doing more than touching lightly on the more salient points raised by this gentleman.
