Ways and Works in India - Being an Account of the Public Works in That Country From the Earliest Times Up to the Present Day #245962

Mareriais for the facts and figures grouped together in this work have been mainly gathered from such official publications and Government records as are readily accessible to a writer in England, as well as from numerous published volumes or reports, dealing with separate branches of Indian Public Works, or Indian and English Engineering, and (by kind permission) from many descriptive papers on Indian subjects read at various times before the Institution of Civil Engineers. Where distinct verbal quotations have been made they are indicated by the footnotes or otherwise, but frequently where the general substance of passages, or of statistics, has been paraphrased and condensed, it has not been deemed necessary to burden the volume with constant references.
