us what it would cost to reach one of the
most distant stars, supposing railway
were constructed to it from London, and
that the low rate of pence per 100 miles
prevailed. If the intending passenger
could present to the booking clerk the
whole of the National debt of the United
Kingdom-a sum exceeding 100000, 900,
he would require 5000 huge carts to
convey it in sovereigns to the ticket Office.
