PROSPECTUS.

The formation of a Company to carry into effect the continuation
of a line of railway from Peterborough to Boston and Lynn respec-
tively, having been earnestly called for by a large body of wealthy
and highly influential landowners and residents of the counties of
Lincoln, Norfolk, and the adjoining districts, as being absolutely
necessary to supply the wants of the country through which the
line will pass, it is proposed to make a railway commencing at
Peterborough, proceeding to Eye, and thence continued in two
branches, the one passing by Thorney and Wisbeach to Lynn, the
other passing by Crowland, Spalding, Pinchbeck, Surfleet, Gos-
berton, and Sutterton to Boston, thus making, by means of the
Northampton and Peterborough, and the Syston and Peterborough
Railways, a direct communication from these important towns and
seaports with Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Sheffield,
&c., and ultimately, by means of the London and Birmingham, and
Northampton, Banbury, and Cheltenham Railways,
completing a
direct communication with Gloucester, Bristol, and the entire west
of England.

owners along both branches have been obtained.
The position of the line itself guarantees the assertion, that it will
carry out the expectations of the promoters. An inspection of the
map will stow the immense advantages it will have by commanding
three seaport towns, and being the link connecting the Atlantic and
Gentian Oceans.

In the allotment of shares a preference will be given to parties
locally interested.
Applications for shares, in the form annexed, may be made to the
Solicitors of the Company ; but all such applications must be accom-
panied by a reference to a member of the Provisional Committee, or
to persons of known respectability.
