This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. 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, ..".

When a young English nobleman was thwarted in love he abandoned the court, retired to his estate near Manchester and built a canal to serve his coalmines. The Bridgewater Canal was the sensation of the age and led others to follow the example of the enterprising Duke of Bridgewater. From his starting point in 1760, over the next half-century Britain was covered by a network of waterways that became the lifeblood of the Industrial Revolution. This is the story of 250 years of history on those canals, and of the people who made and used them. The book tells of the great engineers, such as Telford, Brindley and Jessop and of the industrialists, such as Wedgwood and Arkwright who promoted the canals they built. It also tells the story of the anonymous navvies who dug the canals, the men and women who ran the boats and the workers who kept the canals running. Covering the entire history of the canal network (from the glorious early days, through the years of decline caused by rail and then road competition, up to the subsequent revival of the canals as leisure routes), this wonderfully illustrated book is a must-have for all canal enthusiasts.

Love Canal originated in 1894 as part of William T. Love's dream to build a model city and power canal. The neighborhood emerged in the 1970s as an environmental nightmare and harbinger of the worldwide hazardous waste crisis. Photographs in Love Canal tell the story of the community's early development and the subsequent use of the canal by Hooker Electrochemical Company to discard industrial chemical waste from 1942 to 1953. In the late 1970s, the seemingly dormant dump began to leak, and residents found themselves in a slowly unfolding nightmare, learning that the waste dumped in the canal decades before was not simply garbage but actually a toxic brew of dangerous chemicals that were hazardous to life, health, and property.

Bright and colourful, slow and easy, narrowboats are seen today as the epitome of a peaceful life and a wonderful way to get away from the stresses of modern living. Although true, this is a far cry from their origins as the workhorses of the early days of industrial revolution, without which Britain may never have developed as far and fast as it did. Packed with colourful illustrations and little known snippets of information, this entertaining and informative guide retraces the story of how narrowboats have evolved, how their very existence was once challenged and how they have risen phoenix-like into the holiday craft of today. Nick Corble is a renowned canal expert and has written a number of books on the waterways for The History Press, including James Brindley: The First Canal Builder and Living Aboard, the definitive guide for anyone contemplating making a life afloat.
