GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
EXTRACTS from PART 11.
Of "The Anti-Railroad Journal; or, Railroad Impositions
Detected."
It is not, therefore, too much to anticipate a similar termination
to the minor Great Western Railway from Bristol to London ; for,
though probably it may reach as far as Bath front Bristol, after hav-
ing, like a mole, explored its way through tunnels, long and deep,
the Shareholders who travel by it will be so heartily sick, what with
foul air, smoke, and sulphur, that the very mention of a Railway
will be worse than ipecacuanha, especially when the only prospect
they can find the least cheering in the midst of all this derangement
of their stomachs, will be a granite tramway, actually in operation,
alongside of their own dose of ipecacuanlia, ready to follow up the
black draught, so as to get rid of every particle of obstruction with
which the bottoms of their pockets might be Otherwise afflicted.
True it is, that though the last 40 miles from Reading to London
will not require quite so much mole-like engineering as through the
first 13 miles to Bath, yet for the gratification of Mr. Brunel, who
may wish to tunnel more successfully for the Great Western Bubble
taleugh
dry land, than has hitherto rewarded the ingenuity and
skillt of
his father through wet land, another field is open to his
and dexterity in the shape of viaducts and aqueducts, through
which tin. Shareholders will find, as well as Mr. Brunel, solicitors,
2.41 o.thers, of " undoubted talent and activity," that the aqueducts
viaducts will doubtless form capital ducts to carry off all the
solrifuoits cash of the Shareholders.
mßut to be serious—for in a question where so much is to be lost
oore party, and nothing to be gained by another, even ridicule
be economised ; since it should ever be borne in mind, that
unlessta the parties who have concocted the minor Great Western
bubble' were conscious that they were putting forth nothing but a
line speculation, speculation, thee ought to be able to show that the whole
Ilne would pay a liberal profit, and not fall short of even one per
