Abstract
THE commissioners appointed early this year to investigate and report on this important question, have exercised a wise discretion in publishing, as soon as practicable, the first portion of the evidence given before them by fifty-four witnesses, at twenty-two meetings, held between March 21 and July 31, relating almost entirely to English canals and inland navigations. This first instalment forms a fairly bulky Blue-book, with 375 pages evidence, an index of ninety-five pages, various appendices, together with a list of English inland waterways, occupying 111 pages, and a map of the canal-systems and navigable rivers of England and Wales in two sheets at end of the volume, coloured so as to indicate each separate system, with the name of the system printed in large letters of the same colour.
