Not illustrated. 1881 edition. Excerpt: ... "Mother dear, 0! can you tell me Why it is we're living so 1 Father, mother, sisters, brothers, Nine in all, as well you know, Ever floating on the water, Midst the curse of wicked men, Wretched, cruel, fierce, and drunken: Could I never sail again! "Can you tell to me, dear mother, Why to school we cannot go, Why our books and lovely pictures We are never taught to know? Oh! I wish that I could read them: How delighted I should be! Oh that someone would deliver, Make me happy, make me free! "Surely England soon will listen To the boatman's children's cry: See them scattered o'er the nation, --Can the nation let them die? Die to all that's good and useful, Die in everlasting shame 1 Train them for God and country, History then will speak thy fame!" PAET HE. THE BOAT CHILDREN'S CET STILL GOING UPWAED. A FTEE completing my journey, I began to consider what- j-plans I should adopt to cause the local authorities to take steps for enforcing the provisions of the Act, and the regulations of the Local Government Board. I tried the " oracle," with the hope of finding out a more easy, less boring, and troublesome way than writing letters to the press and my big friends. It is not pleasant to be always trespassing upon the good nature and forbearance of those you love and respect; but, with the results contrary to my hopes and wishes, I could see nothing upon the disc of fate but painted in large capitals, "Letters," "Letters." The same familiar face was to be seen with which I have been acquainted for so many years. The zodiacal signs to me appeared as they have always done, "hard work," "sleepless nights," "racked brain," at times "feeble health," "few friends," "poverty," "opposition," "spite," "malice," "misrepresentation," "fighting, ..".

Thousands of literary, popular, non-fiction and archival texts since the eighteenth century document the human experience of the British industrial canal. This book traces networks of literary canal texts across four centuries to understand our relationships with water, with place, and with the past. In our era of climate crisis, this reading calls for a rethinking of the waterways of literature not simply as an antique transport system, but as a coal-fired energy system with implications for the present. This book demonstrates how waterways literature has always been profoundly interested in the things we dig out of the ground, and the uses to which they are put. The industrial canal never just connected parts of Britain: via its literature we read the ways in which we are in touch with previous centuries and epochs, how canals linked inland Britain to Empire, how they connected forms of labour, and people to water.

How political regimes have responded when certain modes of transportation—from carrier pigeons to canal boats—have been associated with politically subversive activities. During World War I, German soldiers shot down carrier pigeons for fear the birds were carrying enemy communiqués; in Mexico, the United States, and other countries, mules were used for smuggling and secret travel in mountainous areas; in the British Empire in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the British feared that supplies for anti-imperialist rebellion were being transported by canal. In this book, Jacob Shell argues that many political regimes have historically associated certain modes of transportation with revolt or with subversive activities—and have responded by acting to destroy or curtail those modes of transportation. Constructing a conceptual framework linking physical geography with the politics of mobility, Shell presents historical examples of the secret, subversive mobilization of people and cargo across watery spaces and harsh terrain, carried by watercraft and transport animals including pigeons, mules, camels, elephants, and sled dogs. Efforts to suppress such clandestine mobilities ranged from the violent (the shooting of pigeons) to the indirect—curtailing financial support, certain kinds of social knowledge, or schemes for infrastructural development. To show how such efforts at immobilization could affect cities and urban transportation, Shell looks at the Port of New York in the early twentieth century, where potentially transformative plans for inner-city freight transportation were rejected—likely, Shell argues, due to fears of anarchist activities. The innovative argument advanced by Shell in Transportation and Revolt challenges conventional wisdom about the supposed obsolescence of transport methods that have become marginalized in the modern era.
