Kail ways, according to the ordina- J ry implication of tlic term, are doubt less of English origin. This species of road u as first thought of in the ; collieries of that country, in the coun ties of Northumberland and Durham, to facilitate transportation from the mine to the river, for extensive dis- . tribution.* The distance between the two places would be a few miles on ly. ? A road must be prepared and maintained, and a proprietor of one of ' these mines would soon discover, that j with wagons heavily loaded and j constantly running, the ruts would < ? O i become deep, the track miry, and ; great difficulty perpetually recurring j to keep it in repair. It would appear extremely desirable to prevent this trouble, and ever returning expense, by setting regularly to work, and constructing at once, if possible, a road surh that it should not be bro ken up. nor need repair in many years. It would cost a little more at first, hut when once completed, all . anxiety about it would be at an end, , and the funds thus laid our being sarin ? repaid, it would afterwards be an in strument of clear and continual prof- ; it. This would evidently reduce the J price of coal to the people all over the j country, nnd at the same time would 1 be. the means of vast advantages to ; the owner of the mine. And here we \ ini;.;ht stop to remark how obvious it is. that by such improvements inju re is done to none, and all are bene fitted: for every miner may avail him- j self of the same means, and derive the sam?* advantages, while warm>h and comfort are r\teni!cd to the poorest people of the country. I In constructing a road, the first ex- ? |>e<li>'iit might possibly be to sink stones into it. or to place rails across to furnish an unyielding foundation. Tl sese. however, though covered with earth, would soon heroine exceeding rough, and the draught heavy. Upon < such a road large loads could not be taken in. the wear of the carriage would he- gu'j.1, the horses would be harassed, and (heir sinews strained for wan; of a sure and regular foot, ing, and their muscles would he shat tered and their strength broken down, by the incessant shocks and I ructions of the w heels. ? Different methods would occur, such as remov ing tin- pound completely, to make ,i In in fount' ttiou, tutting down sharp ridges, hanking across ravines, and paving regularly with stones mutu ally littiil. Hut even in this case it would be loiiud that by rains and the frosts <>f winter, and the constant ac tion of wheels, and ironed hoofs, and cuuihiotis loads, the whole would be <on\?ttid into confused masses of stones and mud, at least as bad. if not iiiurli worse, than if such a sys tem had never been adopted. Men arc ingenious when their interest is concerned, and necessity is the parent of invention. To a reflecting man. it would be evident, that if only lines of support could he provided for the wheels, it would not he difficult to make the track for the horse ol such materials as not easily to be derang ed. ? All that was necessary then, van to lay down two parallel lines of compact and enduring timber, on which flanged wheels might run, ta king care to secure the timbers in their places upon sills resting on so. lid earth. sucu was x no mst origin ot Kuil ways. ? ? At t lie coal-work* in the neighborhood of Newcastle upon Ty tie/* says Wood, ?? tlic expenses of convey ing the coals from (lie pits to the shipping place* would be very great. Down to the year 1600, the only mode appears to have been by carts, on the ordinary roads; and in sotne instances by ??panniers" on horseback. " From 1602 to IG49. ? ? A record," continues Wood," in the books ot one ot the fr? e compa nies in Newcastle, dated 1602, *?t ?t< s. ? ?That from t) me out of my nd y i itaih * Wood ?ud Ttedgold oo Kultoftvl*. been accustomed that all ctU-u aynt* (coal carts) did usually carry and bring eight baulls (17 cwt) of coles to all the staythes upon the river of Tyne;but of late se?eral hath brought only, ?r srarre. seven baulls." ? The cost of transporting so heavy an arti cle an coal alon^ the common roads, which may be supposed would not be of the best description, in carts con taining M'teii or right hois, would operate very powerfully hi accelerat ing the introduction of some improve ment in the mode of conveyance to lessen the expense."* ? In 1649, Gray tells us. ?? Many thousand people arc employed in this trade of coales. Ma ny live bj conveying them in wag gons and waines to the river Tyne. Some south gentlemen hath upon great losse ol benefit, come into this country to hazard their monies iu coale pits. Master Beaumont, a gen tleman of great ingmuity and rare parts, adventured in our mines with his 30.000/. who brought with him many rare engines not known then ia those parts, as the art to boore w ith iron rodds, to try the deepness and thickness of the coale; rare engines to draw the water out of the pits; wag gons with one horse to carry down coales from the pits to the stay thes to the river. "f In the former of these passages the carriages are called ** Waynes." and the latter speaks both ol ?* waynes and waggons," and these are said to be drawn by ??one horse." Hence Wood thinks it probable tt>at between the first and second datcs.that is I (>02 and 1649, the Railway b e; ** to be used, especially as Beauinoui brought along with him no' only a vast sum of money for those times, but tnany rare arts and engines. From 1649 to 1767. In the lite of Lord K. per North, the Railway is distinctly mentioned. "The manner of carriage is by lay ing rails of timber t'roin the colliery to the river, exactly straight and pa rallel. Ami bulky carts are made with four rollers, (four wheels) (it ting those rails, wherein he rai ri.tg? is so easy, that one home will draw down lour or five fhallron o' r??\ls, and is an immense beneiit to theccal merchants." In 1765, a description i? given of a railway as then constru* ted. to this I eff' ct: A road was traced six feet in i breadth. It was then excavated t?? le vel t tie ground and to arrive at a pro per basir? for the road. Arross the . excavation were laid down pieces ot' , oak, four, six, or eight inches square, and at thedistance oftwoor three feet from each other The pieces, it is said, need to he square at their ex tremities only. Upon these are laid down and l as re nod other pieces of wo ml in the direction of the road. These are sawed six or seven inches broad by five deep, and secured to the other pieces with pins of wood Tliey extend on each side of the i ?.* ' along its whole length. Commonly t ?e* ire placed at four feet disfanc from each other, and form the in'erior breadth i of the road.} i Unginalh, {nit little was done in ! reducing thc*e roads to a l* v? 1. or in 1 contriving machinery for drawing tho I waggons up ? lie hills, and letting ! down with safety ami a proper speed, j For this last purpose, an instrument ' was used called a *? convoy.** It was j an iron or wooden rod. acting as a lever, known to mechanicians as a lo ver of the second sort, turning at one end round a pin or fulcrum. l>> t?i< h it was secured to the side of the wa gon between the wheels. From this lower extremity it ascended in a form somew hat curved over the hind v\ heel, and rested near it* upper end in a hook, at the highest rear corner of the wagon body.
