      title = {A treatise on inland navigation illustrated with a  whole-sheet plan, delineating the course of an intended  navigable canal from London to Norwich and Lynn, Through  the Counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, Denoting every  Town and Village through which it is proposed to pass. With  two other plans, to prove the practicability of executing  the whole with success: And a Plan for extending the  Navigation from Bishop-Stortford to Cambridge, without  passing through the Grounds or Parks of Shotgrove or Audley  End; by which the Opposition that has been always made by  the Noble Owners of those Grounds is obviated, and a direct  Conveyance from Cambridge to London, by Water, may be  carried into Execution. The Lands through which the Canal  is proposed to pass, will double, and in many Parts treble  their present Value; and, besides the great Advantage to  Land-Holders, its Utility and Benefit will extend to the  Trade of these Counties in particular, as well as to the  Public at large, by the Means of a cheap and speedy  Conveyance for Corn, and all heavy Articles, to Market, by  Water, whether for Home Consumption or Exportation. There  will be found a vast Saving, when compared to the great  Expence of Land Carriage; which is clearly proved in this  Treatise. `another important and National Object will arise  from this Plan, which is, that the Cities of London and  Westminster may be supplied with Corn and Coals, which at  all Times will prevent a Scarcity or Monopoly.
