The Improvement of Channels in Sedimentary Rivers
Of all engineering works for the purpose of intercommunication between peoples, perhaps the earliest are those of a hydrological character. Not to speak of the ancient canals of Egypt, Babylon, etc., we have the more modern example of a whole country reclaimed from the sea and made accessible by inland navigation, as in the case of Holland. Following this feat came the era of canals, which has lasted down to the present generation, during which the invention of railroads and their astonishing multiplication has entirely eclipsed these slower modes of transportation, or at least reduced them to the position of regulators of commerce.
