    • Chalmers (James) The Channel Railway, connecting England & France, first edition, 1861 & a second edition (2)
      Nov. 19, 2020

      Chalmers (James) The Channel Railway, connecting England & France, first edition, 1861 & a second edition (2)

      Est: £120 - £180

      Chalmers (James) The Channel Railway, connecting England & France, first edition, lithographed title, folding map and large folding plate, modern half dark maroon morocco, g.e., 1861; another edition, second edition, large folding plate (torn but no loss), newspaper cuttings on channel tunnel schemes loosely inserted, original cloth, slightly rubbed and faded, 1867. ⁂ Serious proposals for a fixed cross-Channel communication were first broached at the end of the 18th century but were deferred because of the Napoleonic wars. Several different proposals were made throughout the remainder of the 19th century. This crackpot scheme proposed submerging a tube and anchoring it with baskets of rocks etc. Chalmers claimed the project would cost £12,000,000 but would return £1,215,000 per annum thereafter. An enormous mid-channel lighthouse/ventilation shaft was central to the proposition. In the second edition, reissued seven years after the first, Chalmers tries to bolster his credentials with other successful but unrewarded engineering exploits, and the encouragement from R. Cobden. This time he proposes a twin-tubed tunnel.
