Historical Account of the Navigable Rivers, Canals, and Railways, of Great Britain : As a Reference to Nichols, Priestley and Walker's New Map of Inland Navigation, Derived from Original and Parliamentary Documents in the Possession of Joseph Priestley, Esq.

Omtale

Published in 1831 as a companion to a recently prepared map of inland navigation, this work provides alphabetical coverage of Britain's waterways and railways at that time. Written by the canal manager Joseph Priestley (1767–1852), it stands as a valuable reference work in the history of technology and transport.
