M. E. (Martin E.) Haworth

M. E. Haworth, sometimes listed as Martin E. Haworth, wrote about coaching and travel in late 19th-century Britain. His best-known book, Road Scrapings: Coaches and Coaching (1882), was published under the name Captain M. E. Haworth and presents itself as advice drawn from long experience on the road.

The same book identifies him as the author of The Silver Greyhound, published in 1880. Bookseller and catalog records describe that earlier work as recollections of a retired English military officer, which fits the way Haworth presents himself as a former soldier writing from personal experience.

Reliable biographical details about his life beyond his books are hard to confirm from the sources I found. What does come through clearly is his enthusiasm for horses, coach travel, and the culture of the road, which he recorded in an easy, anecdotal style that still feels spirited today.
