It appears that England will be divided longitudinally by four great
lines of railway, which will become so many main trunks, intersec-
ing and intersected by numerous lines, both transverse and Olique,
opening rapid and ready communication with the intermediate dis-
tricts, with packet stations, and with seaport towns. The more
easterly of these, which is also the longest, originating at Newcastle-
upon-Tyne, and passing through York, Peterborough, and Cambridge,
may be said to terminate in London, whence all places are accessible.
The second line, counting westward, is more tortuous, and has also
a common northern terminus with the preceding, by which its ad-
vantages are materially restricted. This line, descending the Ere-
wash Yale, and passing through Rugby and Oxford, becomes a South-
ampton line by falling into the South-Western Railway at Basing-
stoke.
The third longitudinal line, or the most westerly, is still more de-
fective in design than the preceding ; employing the steep and narrow
railway called the Birmingham and Gloucester as its first link, it
traverses nearly in a right line ttve least populous and most undulating
