Books with title Iron Horse Volume II

This book is illustrated.This book contains a story founded largely on facts, and is intended to illustrate some of the more salient points and interesting circumstances connected with the railway system of this kingdom.It makes no pretension whatever to give a comprehensive, much less a complete, view of a subject which, in its details, I conceive to be almost inexhaustible.To the various managers, superintendents, clerks, drivers, guards, and porters of the several railway companies from whom much of my information has been derived, I now tender my most sincere thanks for the kindness and ready assistance I have received at their hands.Edinburgh, 1871.R. M. BALLANTYNE.

Anne is a kind princess who is very excited that her 8th birthday has come. For a while, she has been dreaming of the gift she wants--an "Iron Horse". While she walks around the castle letting everyone know about her wish, they try to guess what an "Iron Horse" is. Will they figure it out? Will the princess get her gift? Anne never gives up on her wish--will that be enough?
