MANAGEMENT OF RAILWAYS.

THE RATIONALE OF RAILWAY ADMINISTRATION.

With a view to the greatest possible amount of Accommodation, Cheapness, and Safety. By Thornton Hunt. In 8vo., price 2s. 6d.

“This is the best pamphlet on Railways that we have seen for a long time: informing but not heavy; business-like, suggestive; logical in the analysis; neat in the arrangement; tersely, yet pleasantly written.”—Spectator.

RAILWAY SPECULATION.

THE LIABILITIES INCURRED BY THE PROJECTORS, MANAGERS, & SHAREHOLDERS OF RAILWAY

And other Joint Stock Companies Considered; and also the Rights and Liabilities arising upon Transfers of Shares. Written expressly for Non-Professional use. By George Henry Lewis, of the Middle Temple, Esq. Third Edition, in post 8vo., price 1s. 6d. sewed.

“Projectors, and provisional and managing committee-men will find matter of startling interest in Mr. Lewis’s sensible little tract. It contains also some curious intimation of the responsibility incurred by the sale of Letters of Allotment, and Banker’s receipts before the issue of scrip, and of scrip itself before the company is completely registered. It is, in short, a very useful and timely publication.”—Examiner.
