Abstract
ONE CURIOUS ASPECT of the history of early railways is the failure of most historians to state explicitly what they understand the term railway to mean. Moreover, often it is difficult to determine from their writings just what they had in mind on this point. Apparently the majority have felt free to adopt whatever criteria they desired to govern collection of the data on which they base their accounts. As a result, many interpretations of the early development of railways are neither in agreement with each other nor consistent with the facts that can be recovered.
