PREFACE
THE Editor of the Railway Magazine has now brought the first Volume of the New Series to a close. He would be wanting in gratitude, if he did not return his cordial thanks to the public and his numerous and highly respectable Correspondents, for the support they have given him. He only regrets that the modesty of many of his Correspondents will not allow their names to appear. With respect to the public favour, this simple fact will be sufficient, namely, that nine months have seen the gross returns of the Work rise to between six and eight times what they were.
It does not become the Editor, who has contributed so largely to the scientific part of the Magazine, to speak of the merit of the articles, but it must be gratifying to his feelings to hear, that they are almost regularly translated into the German, Russian, and other languages-countries to which he could hardly have hoped even the name of the Railway Magazine would have reached.
To such liberality on the one hand, and compliment on the other, the Editor has no other means of responding but by an increase of exertion, which, he trusts, will not be found wanting.
