First published in 1868 by the hydraulic engineer W. H. Wheeler (1832-1915), this work on the Fens of South Lincolnshire is reissued here in its much expanded second edition of 1896. It covers the reclamation of fenland from political and economic perspectives, touching also on engineering methods.
This expanded 1896 second edition gives a detailed history of the reclamation and drainage of the Fens of South Lincolnshire.
