THE SCINDE RAILWAY and its REL&. TIONS to the EUPHRATES VALLEY and other Routes
to India. With Illustrative Maps, Statistical Tables, &c., from
official sources. By W. P. ANDREW, Esq.. Chairman of the
Scinae Railway Company author of Indian Railways and their
Probable Results, oy Indigo postmaster; Redwine iu
Bengal ; Is India to have Railways? &c. W. H. Atlas and Co.,
7, Leadenhall-street.
" From the head of the Persian Gulf it Is nearly a straight
course by steamer to the terminus of the Scinde Railway at the
Port of Kurrachee, and communication being thus established
with the Indus, the connection with all the most important
points of our Indian possessions will be increased to a degree
calculated to create another revolution in our ideas, equal to
that originally produced by the organisation of the existing
transit as compared with that of the Cape. A glance at the
map, taking the Austrian railways to Trieste, thence by steamer
to Selucia, thence by railway, via Aleppo, to the Euphrates, and
thence by river and ocean steamers to Kurrachee, exhibits a
directness which, looking at the distance travermid, is almost
unexampled, and begets, when the evidence respecting the
absence of natural obstacles is also considered, a conviction
that on • account of its political, no less than its financial and
commercial, importance it will be regarded as one of the most
prominent among the several objects to which the conclusion of
peace enables attention to be turned."—The Times, May 20th,
