(Excerpt from The Midland Railway, Its Rise and Progress: ...)
Excerpt from The Midland Railway, Its Rise and Progress: A Narrative of Modern Enterprise The last fifty years have witnessed a mighty and beneficent revolution in the Midlands of England. A few men of enterprise have led others on to a work which has revived trade, created new industries, enriched at once the landlord and the peasant, the manufacturer and the merchant, and promoted the happiness and well-being of the nation. And in this service the Midland Railway has been especially concerned. When the Author inquired for the beginning of the history of the Midland Railway - when he tried to find the source of the highest tributary stream of events - his friends of the Midland Railway Company were unable to help him. The oldest official records were searched in vain. Sir James Allport, then the General Manager, and Mr. E. S. Ellis, the Chairman, could tell much; but they could not say where the Midland Counties Railway, the first of the three lines that eventually were amalgamated to form the Midland Company, had its initiation. Fortunately the required clue was, unexpectedly, discovered. One day, riding in a train with Mr. Robert Harrison, of Eastwood, near Nottingham, that gentleman suggested to the Author that in the private books of his firm - Messrs. Barber, Walker and Co., - some facts bearing on the subject might perhaps be ascertained. He would have them searched.

Williams was born in Newark-on-Trent. His father Charles Williams was also a Congregational minister and a prolific author.
He studied at University College and New College in London.
From 1861, he lived and worked as a tutor at the Nottingham Congregational Institute, alongside its director John Brown Paton. Williams enjoyed a deserved reputation as a pioneer railway historian. "Our Iron Roads" appeared in 1852 and had run to seven editions by 1888, selling over 10,000 copies.
The book gives a detailed account of the early history of the railways in Britain and explains at length the construction of embankments, cuttings, tunnels and viaducts. He also wrote "The Midland Railway, its Rise and Progress" (1876), which covers the history of the Midland Railway and also describes the countryside and historic sites that were made more accessible by its construction. He also wrote a book on astronomy, "The Wonders of the Heavens" (1862), and "Nottingham Past and Present" (1878), in addition to several religious pamphlets.
(5 ed), 1888.
