Birkbeck was an English gentleman farmer who emigrated to the United States, going on to write a travel book. Following this journey, his correspondence included very detailed accounts of aspects of American and emigrant life. This work brings together letters by Birkbeck to friends and an epistolary exchange with future émigrés, who inquire about the price of cabins, American Indians, and so on...The book is an important source of information on what exactly emigrants to America should expect.

A la suite de ce voyage, des lettres lui parvinrent sur des points très précis de la vie américaine et des émigrants. L'ouvrage rassemble donc des lettres écrites par Birbeck à des amis et un échange épistolaire avec de futurs émigrants, qui interrogent Birbeck sur le prix des cabanes, sur les Indiens...

These and later events are recalled with wry humor and a gift for observation. Most of Canada in the early decades of the twentieth century was still a remote frontier country, and this fact is emphatically communicated in the author's descriptions of the local scenes and characters he encountered.." - dust jacket.

BIRTH OF RAIL TRAVEL : THE RAINHILL TRIALS
1830 Rainhill Railway Trials. A series of contemporary reports regarding the Rainhill Railway Trials and development of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Historical details construction & costs preparatory experiments description of the railway opening of the railway the accident death of Wm. Huskisson commencement of traffic performance of the engines Stephensons' locomotive The Northumbrian the locomotive carriages of Stephenson Braithwaite and Ericsson further correspondence commencement of goods carrying derailment of The Meteor etc. All contained in a series of 7 disbound issues of the Mechanics' Magazine September October November 1830 & January 1831
Knight and Lacey London 1830-31. Card Covers. Very Good Condition. The Rainhill Trials of 1829 were a landmark event in railway history but the subsequent reports in Mechanics' Magazine from 1830 and 1831 provided deeper insights into the development of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway including its construction costs and early operations. These reports covered ; Preparatory experiments leading up to the railway's full operation ; Detailed descriptions of the railway infrastructure and engineering challenges ; The opening of the railway including the tragic accident that led to the death of William Huskisson a prominent politician ; The performance of the engines including Stephenson's Northumbrian which played a crucial role in early railway operations ; The locomotive designs by Stephenson Braithwaite and Ericsson showcasing innovations in steam-powered transport ; The commencement of goods transport marking the railway's transition into commercial use : and incidents such as derailments including those involving The Meteor and The William the Fourth highlighting early challenges in railway safety. These reports were invaluable in documenting the early successes and setbacks of railway transport shaping future developments in locomotive engineering and railway management. The collection consists of the following complete issues: No. 372 Sept 25th 32 pages; No. 373 Oct 2nd 16 pages; No. 375 Oct 16th 16 pages; No. 378 Nov 6th 16 pages; No. 380 Nov 20th 16 pages; No. 384 Dec 18th 16 pages No. 389 Jan 22nd 16 pages; 1830 & 1831. These seven issues continue the contemporary reporting in this journal of the Rainhill Trials and the development of the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. The Rainhill Trials held in October 1829 aimed to test George Stephenson's assertion that locomotives would be the best motive power for the nearly completed Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Five locomotives participated running along a one mile stretch of level track at Rainhill Lancashire. Stephenson's Rocket was the only locomotive to complete the trials and was declared the winner. Consequently the directors of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway decided that locomotives should operate services on their new line awarding George and Robert Stephenson the contract to produce them. The opening ceremony of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway on 15 September 1830 was a significant event attracting notable figures from the government and industry including the Prime Minister the Duke of Wellington. The day began with a procession of eight trains departing from Liverpool for Manchester. The parade was led by Northumbrian driven by George Stephenson and included Phoenix driven by his son Robert; North Star driven by his brother Robert Sr.; and Rocket driven by assistant engineer Joseph Locke. Unfortunately the day was marred by the death of William Huskisson the Member of Parliament for Liverpool who was struck and killed by Rocket at Parkside. Genuine Original and Packed with Innovation! This weekly magazine isn't just a fragment of history it's a window into the cutting-edge advancements of the Victorian era! Since 1823 The Mechanics' Magazine has tackled revolutionary topics from printing presses to vapor baths hydrostatics and hydraulics. It dives into breakthrough safety measures preventing explosive contaminated air while exploring the mechanics of oxy-hydrogen blowpipes and self-laying rail carriages. Every page crackles with Victorian-era engineering brilliance capturing the relentless drive for invention that shaped the modern world! This is an exclusive standalone issue carefully separated from its original volume; authentic original and uniquely crafted. It is not a reprint or reproduction but a distinct piece in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 13 x 21 cms. Category: Mechanics' Magazine; New Arrivals; Special Interest. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK. If extra postage is required we will contact you before processing your order and you will be given the details and option to decline the extra cost. Knight and Lacey unknown
