By Andrew Dryburgh Provand

Book Overview

The Manchester Ship Canal Scheme: A Criticism is a book written by Andrew Dryburgh Provand in 1883. The book is a critique of the proposed Manchester Ship Canal, which was a controversial project aimed at constructing a waterway that would connect Manchester to the sea. Provand argues against the scheme, citing its potential negative impact on the environment, the economy, and the people of Manchester. He questions the feasibility of the project and raises concerns about the high cost of construction, the impact on existing industries, and the potential for corruption. The book provides a detailed analysis of the proposed canal and its potential consequences, drawing on historical and economic data to support its arguments. The Manchester Ship Canal Scheme: A Criticism is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding the construction of the Manchester Ship Canal and the broader issues of industrialization and urban development in 19th-century Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
