Abstract
ALTHOUGH there can be no question but that any facilities of access to the group of buildings on the ground of the Commissioners of the Exhibition of 1851 will be greatly to the advantage of the public, the objections to the proposed railway raised in your recent article on “Shaking the Foundations of Science” are worthy of most serious consideration, if they are not altogether fatal to the scheme. The alternative route for the line which you suggest, along Queen's Gate, would meet with equal difficulties, much greater expense, and certain opposition in several quarters. There is, however, another solution of the question free from most of the objections to both the others.
