	Canals
		Today, canals are mainly relatively short routes for large ocean-going ships leading to coastal ports, such as the Houston Ship Channel, or protected ways bordering the shore, such as the Intracoastal Waterway around the Gulf of Mexico and up the east coast of the United States that connects lagoons behind barrier islands.
		The United States was admirably suited for navigation on its coastal and river waters, and this was by far the most important means of transport until the railways, made especially effective by the introduction of steamboats around 1810.
		Canal boats were sometimes towed by men, but more usually by a horse, mule, or pair of donkeys accompanied by a driver (usually a boy) on a towpath provided by the canal company on its own property.

	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.3, Entry 278, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: Library of Economics and Liberty
		The states are self-governing commonwealths in all points reserved to them by the federal constitution, and their state governments take cognizance of everything not forbidden to them by the federal constitution or by their state constitutions.
		State constitutions have come to look somewhat as if they were cast in one mould, and state laws as if they were made after one pattern; but the state judiciary, which finally and authoritatively interprets both, retains and gives full force in the interpretation to every tradition, prejudice and peculiarity of the state life.
		State legislatures are naturally very prone to enact innovations only on the strength of their success in other states, and, perhaps, under very dissimilar circumstances; but that must be a very reasonable innovation indeed which can pass unscathed the gauntlet of the state courts, and make for itself a permanent place in its new location.

	Railroad Maps of the United States.
		In the Library's collections are maps from the earliest era of railroad mapmaking, Henry Schenck Tanner's "Map of the Canals and Rail Roads of the United States," dated 1830, is an early general map, depicting "working lines" on the eastern seaboard and in Kentucky, Alabama, and Louisiana.
		Numerous maps of the United States and individual states and counties were made which clearly indicated the sections of the granted land and the railroad rights-of-way.
		This statement, however, does not seem applicable to the large and detailed map of 1876 which indicates drainage, relief by hachures, international, state and county boundaries, cities and towns, railroad stations, canals, roads, trails, a comprehensive railroad network, and railroads under construction.
