THEIR FUTURE.

_With a Map of the Scottish Railway System. Crown 8vo. 5s._

"Mr. Acworth has lost no time in following up his interesting book on
English railways with a very readable companion volume. This is a
concise review of the past history of Scottish railway enterprise, and a
suggestive survey of the present outlook, with its notable activity of
competition and exploitation. From both aspects Mr. Acworth's book, with
its admirable map of existing lines and lines in progress, is eminently
satisfactory. Burning questions of amalgamation or of competitive and
retaliatory policies are treated with discretion. They are discussed, as
was inevitable, but discussed within sober and proper
bounds."--_Saturday Review_.

instruction from its perusal."--_St. James's Gazette_.
