Written in 1844 by Henry Hutchinson, this book, as the title
suggests, focuses on the practical aspects of land drainage,
advising readers to first consider the plan, cost, and mode of
draining carefully. The treatise begins with a general address to
the public which offers advice to landlords for dealing with tenant
farmers, information on valuing land for fair rent, and ways of
improving substandard soil. Lamenting that 'a great deal has been
written by parties who really know nothing of the practical working
of a system', Hutchinson, a land agent, valuer and 'professor of
draining', writes from a zealous desire to educate the public
correctly on the art of land drainage. Hutchinson's approach is
scrupulously thorough, with separate chapters on shallow draining,
deep draining, bastard draining, boring, and impediments to
draining, as well as the history of land drainage in England.
