| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "British Canals: Is their resuscitation practicable?" by Edwin A. Pratt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the potential revival of the British canal system in the face of changing transportation needs and competition from railways. Pratt delves into the history, engineering, and economic implications of canal transport, aiming to clarify public misconceptions about the merits and challenges of revitalizing this once-thriving network. The opening of the text introduces the backdrop of a Royal Commission on Canals and Waterways that has recently been formed, highlighting the growing public interest in the revival of canals. Pratt discusses the complex interplay between different stakeholders, including traders who desire cheaper transit options and engineers interested in the reconstruction of historical canals. At the same time, he points out the skepticism among investors regarding the viability of canals in the modern economy, suggesting that motivations may not align as neatly as some advocates assert. The chapter sets the stage for a thorough examination of the merits of canal rehabilitation against the backdrop of both historical successes and contemporary realities.
