With reflections upon all the schemes hitherto proposed for draining the fens, shewing wherein they are defective. Also observations upon artificial-scours: shewing where, and in what cases they are, or can be of use; where not. Illustrated with a map. By Tho. Badeslade, author of The history of Lyn-navigation, and of draining in the fens.
