    This work consists of once confidential documents accompany the Report of the Bridges Committee to the Council, and proposes the construction of Blackwall Tunnel with evaluaions on subaqueous tunnels at New York and Sarnia.

    The report was made by Sir Benjamin Baker, an important English engineer who developed many of London's underground railways, as well as the Forth Bridge and the first dam at Aswan.

    Printed for the London County Council.

    An extremely scarce work.
