Moral Results.

This writer of 1853 believed that his “glorious system of national intercourse” had already produced great moral results, in that the social, politacal, and commercial interests of all Europe were becoming more than ever closely united; local distinctions and district prejudices were fast vanishing away. People who had never thought of moving out of their own county, were beginning to travel to other parts of the country; and so, by becoming better acquainted with their fellowmen, long-cherished animosities would be lulled, and friendships cemented; and selfish, short-sighted patriotism would be exchanged for an enlightened philanthropy.

The concluding article in the “Miscellany” stated that on the London and North Western Railway, and its branches, twenty-four millions sterling had been expended. A description was given of a journey that might be taken on this line, also an account of the history connected with the towns and country seats that would be passed.
