Good evening all.
I have a good buddy with an old book titled Kirkman's "Science of Railways" Portfolio. We haven't been able to identify it online and I was hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on it. The usual google searches did not turn up any helpful results. As far as we know it was by a gentlemen named Marshall Monroe Kirkman, 1842-1921. In looking at his published book list, this "portfolio" does not appear anywhere. The whole book or portfolio measures maybe 14" x 20" (just a guesstimate from memory). The pages are a cloth, or cloth reinforced paper composite. I have upload the photos of the book that I have. I will upload more when I can. My buddy is busy moving and found this book while packing. As neat as this book is and the history behind it, he doesn't want it to get lost or forgotten.
Any thoughts on what we have here? My email is jcoor00@yahoo.com
Thanks,
John
