Excerpt from On the Reclamation and Protection of Agricultural Land
IT is needless to inquire at what date and in what country attention was first directed to the reclamation and protection of land, as such an inquiry would not afford any satisfactory or useful result. But it is well known that the subject has long engaged the attention of engineers, and' is viewed as of great practical importance by agriculturists. It has occurred to me, therefore, that an exposition of the state of our knowledge regard ing this branch of agricultural engineering, founded on personal experience and study of the principal rivers and estuaries of the United Kingdom, may prove not uninteresting to the mem bers of the Highland Society.
