Excerpt from Railway Enterprise in China: An Account of Its Origin and Development A question of some difficulty has been the romanisation of the names of places. At the present time the recognised system is that of Sir Thomas Wade, and a tendency has lately manifested itself to recast the names of places the spelling of which has been long settled by custom. The soundness of this latter proceeding. However, may be doubted, and on the whole it seems desirable to accept such spellings as have been settled by usage, and in other cases to base the romanisation of Chinese characters on the system already alluded to. The spelling adopted by the Imperial Maritime Customs in their returns seems to be based on this prin ciple accordingly, it has as far as possible been followed. In regard to the maps, it should he remarked that no line is shown the construction of which has not been sanctioned by the Chinese Government, although references will be found in the text to schemes which have been more or less seriously discussed. This course has been pursued in order that the maps may accurately represent the present position; the illustration of the somewhat nebulous schemes of the future may safely be left to future editions. I should add that the drawings upon which the more important maps have been based, have passed through the hands of Mr. A. G. Cox, of the Imperial Railways of North China, to whom my thanks are due for assistance in connection with them.

The subject of this work is the process by which steamship and railway lines for India were launched. These undertakings, particularly the railways, involved a large-scale investment of British capital in India. The terms under which this capital moved, and, more precisely, the struggle to secure these terms, form the heart of this study.

The British railway network was a monument to Victorian private enterprise. Its masterpieces of civil engineering were emulated around the world. But its performance was controversial: praised for promoting a high density of lines, it was also criticised for wasteful duplication of routes. This is the first history of the British railway system written from a modern economic perspective. It uses conterfactual analysis to construct an alternaive network to represent the most efficient alternative rail network that could have been constructed given what was known at the time - the first time this has been done. It reveals how weaknesses in regulation and defects in government policy resulted in enormous inefficiency in the Victorian system that Britain lives with today. British railway companies developed into powerful regional monopolies, which then contested each other's territories. When denied access to existing lines in rival territories, they built duplicate lines instead. Plans for an integrated national system, sponsored by William Gladstone, were blocked by Members of Parliament because of a perceived conflict with the local interests they represented. Each town wanted more railways than its neighbours, and so too many lines were built. The costs of these surplus lines led ultimately to higher fares and freight charges, which impaired the performance of the economy. The book will be the definitive source of reference for those interested in the economic history of the British railway system. It makes use of a major new historical source, deposited railway plans, integrates transport and local history through its regional analysis of the railway system, and provides a comprehensive, classified bibliography.
