A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON RAIL-ROADS, AND INTERIOR COMMUNICATION IN GENERAL, Containing Numerous Experiments on the Powers of the Improved Locomotive Engines and Tables of the Comparative Cost of Conveyance on Canals, Railways, and Turnpike Roads.

Wonderful complete first edition including several fold out book plates.  Measuring about 8.5" x 6" with 760 pages. Both front and back covers are loose from the edition, spine backbone cover is loose and missing half.   Pages have some edge wear and some spotting and foxing as shown.  Pages are not brittle and the edition is in good condition beyond the issues with the book cover.  Not many of these around that are not reprints.  Nice gift idea for any railroad collector.
