1856.] OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.             765

valued member of this House; and after witnessing its operations
and having its principles illustrated and explained by that hono-
rable gentleman himself, with the aid of the working model now
in this city, we do not hesitate to pronounce it a most efficient in-
strument for protection against the many fearful Railroad accidents
which of late from time to time have brought sorrow and afflic-
tion to the heart of the civilized world, and we earnestly commend
it to the adaption of all who have the charge and management of
Railroads in this and other countries.
