Excerpt from Notes on Railroad Accidents This volume makes no pretence whatever of being either an exhaustive or a scientific study of the subject to which it relates. It is, on the contrary, merely what its title signifies, - a collection of notes on railroad accidents. In the course of ten years service as one of the railroad commissioners of Massachusetts, I was called upon officially to investigate two very serious disasters, - that at Revere in 1871, and that at Wollaston in 1878, - besides many others less memorable. In connection with these official duties I got together by degrees a considerable body of information, which I was obliged to extract as best I could from newspapers and other contemporaneous sources. I have felt the utmost hesitation in publishing so crude and imperfect a performance, but finally decide to do so for the reason that, so far as I know, there is nothing relating to this subject in print in an accessible form, and it would, therefore, seem that these notes may have a temporary value.

Excerpt from Railroad Accidents Their Cause and Prevention In the transaction of the business of a railroad its first and highest duty is to the passengers, to carry them safely and speedily; next, to take care of the property entrusted to it for transportation, and for which it is practically an insurer against everything but the act of God or the public enemy, and deliver it with reasonable dispatch to the con signee in practically the same condition as that in which it is received., it is a self-evident proposition that the nearer the railroads come to performing this duty, the fewer losses and claims for damages they will have to pay, and, as a matter of course, the more money there will be left with which to pay wages, interest, dividends, and make improvements. So it behooves all, who are working for those wages, to do every thing they can to help carry on the business properly and correctly in order that the interest of the com panies hiring them, as well as their individual in terest, will be subserved, and for the more important reason of causing as little suffering, pain, and sor row to those who by accident may be maimed or killed, which always brings trouble and sorrow to the victim as well as to his family, and frequently results in untold suffering and privation to the widows and children.

Notes on Railroad Accidents Rare Railway Books and Publications By Charles Francis Adams, Jr. Author of "Railroads: their Origin and Problems." This volume makes no pretence whatever of being either an exhaustive or a scientific study of the subject to which it relates. It is, on the contrary, merely what its title signifies, --a collection of notes on railroad accidents. In the course of ten years service as one of the railroad commissioners of Massachusetts, I was called upon officially to investigate two very serious disasters, --that at Revere in 1871, and that at Wollaston in 1878, --besides many others less memorable. In connection with these official duties I got together by degrees a considerable body of information, which I was obliged to extract as best I could from newspapers and other contemporaneous sources. I have felt the utmost hesitation in publishing so crude and imperfect a performance, but finally decide to do so for the reason that, so far as I know, there is nothing relating to this subject in print in an accessible form, and it would, therefore, seem that these notes may have a temporary value. During my term of public service, also, there have been four appliances, either introduced into use or now struggling for American recognition, my sense of the value of which, in connection with the railroad system, to both the traveling and general public, I could not easily overstate. These appliances are the Miller Platform and Buffer, the Westinghouse Brake, and the Interlocking and Electric Signal Systems. To bring these into more general use through reports on railroad accidents as they occurred was one great aim with me throughout my official life. I am now not without hopes that the printing of this volume may tend to still further familiarize the public with these inventions, and thus hasten their more general adoption. RARE RAILWAY BOOKS

Excerpt from Street Railway Accidents: Compiled for the Use of the Trial Department of the New York City Railway Company These monographs respecting diverse surgical ailments are the outgrowth of requests from the Trial Counsel for information on respective subjects. It was finally deemed advisable to anticipate such demands by furnishing articles on the more common injuries alleged, and these took the form of manifolded typewritten brochures. The list has now grown large enough to warrant publication in the present form, and in offering the following pages, no attempt has been made to exhaustively treat any given topic, the aim being to furnish the necessary working knowledge for Trial purposes; and to give enough technical explanation to understandingly consult recognized quoted or mentioned standard authorities. There has constantly been in mind the description of the average and usual, rather than the exceptional or unusual case, and careful mention has been made of the elements liable to modify the causation or outcome of a given injury. The diagrams used were obtained through the courtesy of the medical publishers, W.B. Saunders Company, of Philadelphia.

Much has been said and written during recent years about the increasing number of railroad accidents in this country-their cause and what action should be taken by the government, the railroads and the employees to reduce them and the consequent loss of life and limb resulting therefrom. Believing that if the cause of our many accidents were properly understood more care would be taken by the corporations, employees and persons at fault to reduce the number, I shall try to point out in the following pages what investigation has shown me to be the cause of many accidents and how their reoccurrence could, I think, be prevented.
