PROSPECTUS.
The imperative necessity, alike in a social, commercial, or political
point of view, for drawing as closely together as possible the capitals
of England and Ireland, has suggested the formation of the Grand
London and Dublin Approximation Railway,--a line, the value of
which it is difficult to ever estimate, since it will be found to take a
nearly direct course from the English metropolis to Holyhead. It
vcill pa's through or near the populous and noble county town of
Shropshire (as yet unprovided with railway communication), and
