Excerpt from The Practical Irrigator and Drainer
The following treatise on irrigation was drawn up and published at the request of those for whom the author has had the honour of converting land into irrigated meadow in order to point out, in a practical manner, the different methods of their formation, and, more particularly, what was necessary to be attended to in their management, as well as to shew the result of experiments made in Scotland in this useful branch of agriculture. It having gone through two editions, which are now exhausted, he is encouraged, by the success which has attended them, and the work having been frequently asked for since it was out of print, to bring forward a third edition, which he hopes will not be unacceptable.
