The Civil Engineering of Canals and Railways before 1850 (review)
This frustrating and rewarding volume appears in a new series, Studies in the History of Civil Engineering, intended, according to its general editor, Joyce Brown, as a "reference collection" for "civil engineers--and other readers" (p. xii).

As Becquey originally conceived his plan, canal building would directly contribute to economic growth and help foster a spirit of business enterprise. In the end he had to settle for…
