A detailed account of the Stockton to Darlington line, recalling a momentous step in technical progress. The author ranges widely over the social, economical and technical aspects of the history, while also focusing on the political manoeuvrings and personality clashes that played such an important role. He gives a telling portrait of the powerful individuals who drove the project forward - locomotive pioneer George Stephenson, for example, and businessman Edward Pease, whose combined efforts created the line. The book shows how the Stockton and Darlington line developed and surmounted the extraordinary obstacles that confront such an original enterprise. In doing so, it set the standards that have become the basis of practice and procedure throughout the railway industry, serving as a model for railways in Britain and across the world.

<p>The Apostle Paul has been referred to as "the know-nothing apostle," based on his statement that he determined to know nothing except Christ and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2). The doctrine expounded in this precious book is "Everyone Ought to Study and Learn to Know Jesus Christ." The author, in 33 chapters, shows why we must know Christ, how we come to know Christ, the signs of those who know Christ, and exhorts ministers of the gospel to preach Christ.</p>
