| Summary | "The Manchester and Glasgow Road, Volume 1 (of 2)" by Charles G. Harper is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich history of the road from London to Glasgow, detailing its significant events, picturesque scenes, and the evolution of travel along this major route. Harper provides insights into mail coaching, the towns and villages along the way, and the social and transport systems of the time, enticing readers with narratives of both romance and hardship associated with travel in that era. At the start of the text, Harper presents a preface that sets the stage for the exploration of the Manchester and Glasgow Road, comparing it to other significant routes in England and emphasizing its historical richness. He reflects on the transformational changes in travel, particularly the transition from coaching to the railway system, drawing the reader into a time when the road was bustling with life and stories. The opening chapters delve into the details of various stages along the road, highlighting the evolution of transportation and the characters involved in the mail-coaching trade, while also hinting at personal anecdotes and historical reflections that will unfold throughout the volume.
