Grasemann, to whom I tender my warmest acknowledgments. A portion of Chapter III was written, at my request, by Mr. Edward Davy Pain, and a portion of Chapter IV bv Mr. C. J. Bowen Cooke, to both of whom my Sincere thanks are offered for giving me the benefit of their literary Skill as well as of their expert knowledge. In writing each one of the other chapters I have had the assistance of one or more friends closely in touch with the department of railway working under treatment. My gratitude to these for help, in every case most kindly and willingly given, is none the less Sincere because I do not mention them by name.
