National Railways

National Railways: An Argument For State Purchase is a book written by James Hole in 1895. The book presents an argument for the state purchase of railways in order to improve their efficiency and reduce the cost of transportation. Hole argues that private ownership of railways leads to inefficiencies and high costs, while state ownership would allow for better management and control of the railway system. The book provides a detailed analysis of the history of railways in Britain and the problems associated with their private ownership. It also discusses the benefits of state ownership, including lower fares, improved safety, and increased investment in infrastructure. National Railways: An Argument For State Purchase is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding railway ownership in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
