Locomotive steam carriages might be used every where, and very probably a species of light carriage would be invented, which might be moved by machinery to be worked by hand from the inside; and in which a party of men, of very humble means, might, by each working the machine in turn, make tours of business or pleasure to those scenes now only accessible to the wealthy. It is delightful to think of a party of London or Birmingham journeymen, with their wives, making a tour, in a hired or joint-stock mechanical carriage, to North or South Wales, or the lakes; and to think of the ease with which all the finest scenery in the island might be seen by every one. The views from the public roads so laid out would combine all the beauties now chiefly sought for in the scenery round gentlemen's seats, and would, indeed, far exceed them; for, independently of the variety of situation of such seats, and of distant prospects seen from them, there is of necessity a great general sameness in their appearance when examined in detail. It is clear to us that there ought not to be any turnpikes on any road whatever; but we have neither time nor room to give our reasons.
