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.
