Summary "A History of Inland Transport and Communication in England" by Edwin A. Pratt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the evolution of various modes of inland transport and communication throughout English history, emphasizing their critical role in the development of trade and industry. It explores the interconnectedness of transport systems with economic and social conditions, shedding light on historical advancements from ancient times to modern developments. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive discussion on the significance of inland transport, outlining its effect on British industrial and social progress. Pratt introduces the idea that effective inland communication was essential for the movement of goods and people, which in turn stimulated economic growth. He highlights the limitations of primitive transport means and emphasizes the necessity of advancing transport infrastructures, covering various modes such as roads, rivers, canals, and railways in subsequent chapters, thus establishing a framework for the detailed exploration of England's transport history.
