"A Move for Better Roads" is a collection of essays on roadmaking, maintenance, and relevant road laws, originally submitted to the University of Pennsylvania for prize consideration in 1891.

The essays explore practical methods for improving road quality, address the legal frameworks governing road construction and upkeep, and reflect the growing importance of efficient transportation networks during this period of industrial expansion.
