BRADSHAW'S RAILWAY GUIDE.
Enong the many excellences of Bradshaw's Guide,
there is one now introduced into the large MaP accwril'
PanYing it which claims particular attention.
The difficulty hitherto experienced in all railway guides
has been to find the particular
page in which
the line wanted is to be found. One might turn over
and over the pages without any benefit, and lose much
precious time in the search. This is now obviated by
the introduction of RED figures on the various lines,
indicating the page where the place wanted may
be found at a glance. This is excellent, as it points
out the want required and the shortest route to the
place. Hitherto railway time tables and branch lines
have proved a great bogie oven to the directors then
selves—now those who " run may read."
