The 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 Sys ton and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway.
By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length,
and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or
near Swinlshead, Donington, Folkingham, Grantham, Stoke, Roch-
ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will he of
great convenience and u.ility, by affording to a part of the country
at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication
with the counties of Ratlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton-
shire, Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural
districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England,
affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for
their manufactures.
It is uanecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise
from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and
most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a
glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, not
only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate
places to itosten, but also for the general traffic which will De
brought to this line by the several railways which will be connected
with it.
In the allotment of shares, holders in the Midland Counties Rail-
way will receive a preference, and reservation will be made for the
landed interests along the line, whose concurrence and assistance is
fully relied on by the promoters, by whom most of the influential
landholders have been canvassed ; and, in order to prevent unneces-
sary trouble, no other applications will be rec,ived except those
wherein reference is made to a member of the Provisional Commit •
tee, to the Solicitors or Bankers, or the following Sharebrekers,
