As Wikipedia notes, Wood "analysed the various types of 'motive power' then in use: self-acting planes, fixed steam-engine planes, horses and steam locomotives."

First Edition
First edition of this very important work in the history of railroads. Rebound in later 1/2 polished leather with morocco spine label. [4], 314 pp., no ads, 6 folding plates. A crisp, clean copy, with virtually no foxing. This is the first edition of the work which, along with Thomas Tredgold's Steam Engine, represent the first major works on railroads. In addition to examining locomotives and the aerodynamics of cars, Wood also presents arguments for the utility of railroads over canals for transporting freight. A very attractive copy of an important work. Wood (1795- 1865) was an engineer, founder member and President of the North of England Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engineers and was one of the judges at the Rainhill Trials in 1829. He was the viewer at Killingworth Colliery, lifelong friend of George Stephenson, and Director of the Newcastle & Berwick Railway. In this early work on railroads, he illustrates and analyses the various types of motive power including horse power and steam locomotives. Dibner, Heralds of Science 182. OCLC 8891168.

First Edition
[Railway History]. FIRST EDITION. Octavo (24 x 15cm), pp.[14]; 314. With five folding copper-engraved plates, including a frontispiece. Recently re-backed using original brown paper-covered boards, with a new brown paper-covered spine to style. Black titles to cream label on spine, with the date written by hand in black ink to base of spine. Plate of Newbury Reference Library to upper board, with shelf number written in black ink. All edges untrimmed. Complete with original publisher's adverts to prelims, with occasional light pencil marginalia. Wear to boards, especially fore-edges. Very good overall. Working closely with both George and Robert Stephenson, Wood was hugely influential in the development of early steam locomotives, having begun his career as a mining engineer in County Durham. This was his first book on the subject, which went on to be re-published in several new editions as his career developed over the following decades.
