The Holyhead Road: The Mail-Coach Road to Dublin, London to Birmingham. E-book. Formato PDF ebook di Charles G. Harper

"The olden days of travelling, now to return no more, in which distance could not be vanquished without toil" - those are the days mourned by Ruskin, who had little better acquaintance with them than afforded by his childish journeys, when his father, a prosperous wine-merchant, travelled the country in a carriage with a certain degree of style. Regrets are, under such circumstances, easily to be understood, just as were those of the old coach-proprietors, innkeepers, coachmen, postboys, and all who depended upon road-travel for their existence; but few among travellers who lived in the days when the change was made from road to rail had feelings of that kind, else railways would not have proved so immediately successful.
