Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science of Railways, Vol. 6 of 12: Baggage, Express and Mail Business; Principles, Methods and Needs of the Baggage Traffic, Legal Status of Carriers, Practices and Governing Principles of Various Countries The continuance in our day, in many ancient places, of primitive methods of transportation will be inexplicable to the reader if he does not remember that in the great cities of the orient the narrow streets, planned when modern vehicles were unknown, do not permit of the use of such methods of carriage. Transportation is, conse quently, confined to men and animals. In the suburbs Of these Old cities, on the other hand, modern vehicles are frequently to be met with. Their environment, however, Surrounds them with an extremely grotesque air. Thus, to see an Eng lish carriage drawn by bullocks or camels is both amusing and startling to people not familiar with the use made of these animals in the orient.
