Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Two Letters on the Advantages of Railway Communication in Western India: Addressed to the Right Hon. Lord Wharncliffe, Chairman of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company
The importance of the Railway we propose making has, I apprehend, in a military point of View, been very imperfectly understood by the community at large. Though not qualified to give an opinion professionally on the subject, there are some points on which my knowledge of the country may en able me to speak, and I trust, therefore, your Lord ship will pardon me for bringing them under your notice.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the economic and strategic benefits of a transcontinental railway system in British India. The author explores how such a system would connect the main governing states by rail, as well as the military significance of such an investment. The author goes on to discuss the agricultural importance of such a system, by highlighting the cash-crop cotton trade that thrived in the region and the problems faced in transporting goods from the interior to the coast for export. The author concludes that with railways these problems would be solved, and that the system would create great opportunities for economic growth, as well as strategic advantages in protecting British India.
