Ihe object of this line of railway is to connect by a direct route
the important town and seaport of Boston with the centre of Eng-
land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join
the Systou and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties
Railway.
By this railway, which will be about forty-tbur miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swineshead, Donington, Folkinghant, Grantham, Stoke,
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that tills line willHoch-
be of
great convenience and utility, by affording to a Pert of the cOnntry,
at present deprived of it, the folvioltwo of railway fittliinl4PlP4gAn
with the counties of Itutlandslilre, Leicestershire, I,rorthamptonshire,
Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural districts of
Lincolnshire with the manufacthring parts of Eng)arpi, affprqing to
the latter an easy and accessible means of export few their marpme,
