　　Two things are outstanding in the creation of the English system of canals,and they characterize all the Industrial Revolution. One is that the men who made the revolution were practical men.

　　The other outstanding feature is that the new inventions were for everyday use. The canals were arteries of communication: They were not made to carry pleasure boats, but barges. And the barges were not made to carry luxuries, but pots and pans and bales of cloth, boxes of ribbon, and all the common things that people buy by the pennyworth.
