A reprint of Matthew's Bible of 1537 [Herbert 34]: 'This version, which welds together the best work of Tindale and Coverdale, is generally considered to be the real primary version of our English Bible. Thomas Matthew is commonly treated as a pseudonym of John Rogers (ca 1500-1555), Tyndale's intimate friend, and the first martyr in the Marian prosecution. But as Rogers only edited what is essentially Tyndale's translation, it seems more probable that Matthew stands for Tyndale's own name, which it was then dangerous to employ.'

The line was authorized in 1836 and opened in stages, from Manchester to Normanton, between July 1839 and March 1841. George Stephenson was the engineer, but Thomas Gooch, brother of Daniel Gooch, as joint principal engineer, actually planned and was in day to day charge of the work. Following later extensions and several absorbtions the Manchester & Leeds became the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway in 1847. Tait's views lack the crispness and detail of Bourne's London & Birmingham and Great Western railway volumes but Tait's images are much more realistic in that they show the railway in its urban and rural settings and vividly record the difficult terrain through which the railway was constructed. The work is rarely found complete or in good condition due to the deterioration of the gutta percha binding. (1)
