This Company has been constituted for the purpose of
Undertaking' the execution and construction of railway-, and
!Mier works both at home and abroad, a class of business
hitherto exclusively conducted by private co9tractors.

withstanding obvious disadvantages, sufficiently attest the
soundness and value of this enter; rise.
vlt is admitted that, in many instances, the terms upon
