Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 292 pages, illustrated. "This study begins by looking at the intellectual climate that spawned the Canadian railway idea, revealing that this idea was strongly influenced by a combination of British and American liberalism, a philosophy that saw technology, the means to destroy trade barriers. In fact, the mid-nineteenth century, Canadians preferred to build transportation links to the American seaboard rather than to Saint John or Halifax, and this created a deep-seated alienation in the country's peripheral regions." FINE HARDCOVER, FINE DUST JACKET.
