The politician Sir Henry Parnell (1776 1842) was instrumental in
drafting legislation to improve the important road linking London
with Holyhead in Anglesey, a major port for communication with
Dublin. He was aided by the pioneering civil engineer Thomas
Telford, and in 1833 Parnell published the first edition of this
thorough work on road construction and maintenance. Reissued here
is the second edition of 1838. Drawing on his experiences with
Telford, who called the work 'the most valuable Treatise which has
appeared in England' on the subject, Parnell outlines not only the
rules governing the planning of a new road, but also addresses the
practical aspects of building and repairing roads, noting the
various tools and materials needed. Parnell, later Baron Congleton,
also highlights the connection between road construction and
national development, and includes a number of appendices relating
to contemporary legislation on the subject of roads."
Prior to its publication in 1830, the draft of this work by Sir
Henry Parnell, later Baron Congleton (1776-1842), was praised by
John Stuart Mill, who said he could 'not see that it is possible to
lay down the principles of political economy more broadly'. Chair
of the select committee on public income and expenditure during the
Duke of Wellington's first ministry, Parnell called for greater
retrenchment and reduced taxation. He also argues here that 'the
passage of merchandise from one state to another ... ought to be as
free as air and water', denouncing the supporters of protection as
'among the greatest enemies of mankind'. A later pamphlet by
Parnell, A Plain Statement of the Power of the Bank of England
(1832), highly critical of the Bank's monopoly, is included in this
reissue. His Treatise on Roads (1833) is reissued separately in the
Cambridge Library Collection.
