This line has—forit; Object a direct communication from the
city of Lincoln to the populous and flourishing town of Sheffield,
and will also be the means of forming a complete line from Boston,
Wainfleet Haven, Spilsby, Horncastle, Louth, Market Kasen East
Retford, and Worksop to Manchester and Liverpool, and from Yar-
mouth, Norwich, and Lynn (by the use of the projected Pontefract,
Doncaster, and Worksop line), to those towns and all the north of
England.

The distance from Lincoln to Sheffield by this line will be forty
