Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Practical Draining
When the portions of the book OF the farm treating of Drain ing appeared, it was suggested to me to publish the article in a separate form, because, as my friends alleged, so important a sub ject as Draining would make a popular book. However good the idea, or flattering the suggestion, my time was too much occupied with the bringing out of my systematic work, to avail myself of it.

Changes, however, have of late been made by the Legislature, which will ere long, as I conceive, necessitate the practice of drain ing in every part of the kingdom For, I suppose, even the most ardent promoter of free-trade is not disposed to deny, that the entire abolition of protective duties will place the produce of our own land in a position rhuch more unfavourable than that of' the foreigner, by both being brought into direct competition in our own market. Nor, on the other hand, can it be gainsaid by the strictest protectionist of native agriculture, that a very lar e pro portion of the land of this kingdom is still much in want 0 drain ing, and that draining is the first and most efficient step towards exciting the natural, and increasino' the acquired ferti ity of the soil. To compete, therefore, with t e foreigner, there exists with the agriculturists of this country the most powerful incentive for increasing the permanent fertility of the soil, if that be practicable; and its practicability is known by the agriculturists themselves to be in their own hands, by pursuing a substantial system of draining.
