	Biographical details of managers, civil engineers, etc
		As Sir Alexander had suggested, the North Eastern Directors then took the further step, through their Chairman, Lord Knaresborough, of informing the Chairmen of the other companies in the Group of their decision, and intimating that they were putting forward R.L. Wedgwood as their candidate for the General Managership of the new company.
		Allen states that Ralph Lewis Wedgwood was born on 2nd March, 1874, the third son of Clement Francis Wedgwood and great-great-grandson of Josiah Wedgwood, founder of the far-famed pottery firm bearing his name.
		If, at these Olympian heights, Wedgwood was sometimes felt to be a little aloof from the rhythm of the railway, it was because smoking concerts and similar "get-togethers" were not altogether in his line of country, and it was not his way to assume any unnatural semblance of heartiness.

		Sir John Herschel said, "London was the centre of the terrene globe." The shopkeeping nation, to use a shop word, has a _good stand._ The old Venetians pleased themselves with the flattery, that Venice was in 45 degrees, midway between the poles and the line; as if that were an imperial centrality.
		Of the criminal statutes, Sir Samuel Romilly said, "I have examined the codes of all nations, and ours is the worst, and worthy of the Anthropophagi." In the last session, the House of Commons was listening to details of flogging and torture practised in the jails.

		Cicely Veronica Wedgwood was born in Northumberland on July 20 1910, the only daughter of Sir Ralph Wedgwood, 1st Bt, who served as the Chief General Manager of the London and North Eastern Railway.

		In 1806, Englishman Ralph Wedgwood secured the first patent for carbon paper, which he described as an "apparatus for producing duplicates of writings".
		He made the carbon paper as a byproduct of his invention to help blind people write through the use of a machine, and the "fl paper" was really just a substitute for ink.
		In its original form Wedgwood's "Stylographic Writer" was intended to help the blind write through the use of a metal stylus instead of a quill, using carbon paper placed between two sheets of writing paper in order to transfer a copy onto the bottom sheet.

		A good number of the letters from Reid, having been included by Sir William Hamilton in his edition of Reid's works, will already be familiar to students of the philosophy of common sense, but it is nevertheless a great pleasure to encounter them again in Paul Wood's beautifully edited collection.
		As Wood notes in a brief introduction to the volume, Hamilton's idea of best editorial practice is very different from ours today: Hamilton modernizes Reid's spelling, changes wordings, silently omits passages, and conflates letters.
		In the 1960s he was the most prominent challenger to both Sir Karl Popper's philosophy of science and Martin Heidegger's philosophy of existence.
