Excerpt from Two Reports Addressed to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company, on the Projected North Line of Railway From Liverpool to Manchester, Bolton, and Bury Canal, Near Manchester: Exhibiting the Extent of Its Cuttings and Embankings, With Estimates of the Cost of Completing the Said Railway
