"An Old Coachman's Chatter, with Some Practical Remarks on Driving" by Edward Corbett is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work offers insights into the art of coaching and driving, focusing on the experiences and observations of a semi-professional coachman with years of practical knowledge in the field. The narrative is likely to touch on the challenges faced during the golden age of coach travel, providing personal anecdotes and reflections about the life of a coachman during that era. At the start of the book, the author sets the tone by pondering the purpose of writing—whether to help people enjoy life or endure it. He expresses hope that his account will offer some enjoyment and nostalgia for those familiar with the old coaching days. Corbett introduces readers to the evolution of mail coaches, citing key historical milestones and early practices in mail transportation. He recounts various experiences, from the thrill of coach travel to the challenges posed by rough weather, road conditions, and unexpected accidents, setting the stage for a rich exploration of this unique period in transportation history.
