Description
Each volume in this series is a collection of articles in the study of transport history, selected from a leading journal in the field. Each contains articles selected by a distinguished scholar, as well as an authorative introduction by the volume editor. Individually they form a foundation to the study of the history of a mode of transport; together they make a library of modern research in the field. This volume is a study of road transport before the railways with articles on topics such as provincial road carrying in England in the 18th century; the impact of the mail coach on the public coach services in England and Wales, 1784-1840; and farm transport in Huntingdonshire, 1610-1749.
