Title
Alleyne FitzHerbert to his father, Sir Henry: "... I liked the rail road very much. We did not do the thing in style, however, for once we were as near as possible at a standstill and the guards were obliged to jump off and help to push us on. Once or twice we went a famous pace, doing 2 miles in 4 minutes, or 30 miles per hour. I think 20 miles per hour is the most comfortable pace ... no effects in head or body ..." 30 June
