Synopsis

""A Historical Account Of The Great Level Of The Fens, Called Bedford Level: And Other Fens, Marshes, And Lowlands In This Kingdom, And Other Places"" is a book written by William Elstobb and published in 1793. The book provides a detailed historical account of the Great Level of the Fens, which is a vast area of low-lying land in eastern England that has been subject to extensive drainage and reclamation over the centuries. Elstobb describes the various methods that were used to drain the land, including the construction of drainage channels, sluices, and pumps, and he also discusses the impact that this drainage had on the local environment and the people who lived there. In addition to the Great Level of the Fens, Elstobb also provides accounts of other fens, marshes, and lowlands in England and other parts of the world. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of land reclamation and drainage in England, and it provides a fascinating insight into the challenges and triumphs of those who worked to transform the landscape of the Fens and other low-lying areas.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
