Part the first being an authentic, or genuine account, what steps the author hath taken to withstand the rapacity of a certain water company, as addressed to some particular Gentlemen under their judicial Capacity, touching their Conduct and Proceedings in this Business. Part the second contains two letters to the above company, respecting the rapid and unreasonable Advance of their Water-Rents; also relating to their arbitrary and uncivil deportment towards their Customers. Lastly, a friendly address to the public (in some measure) stating the trifling Expences of the Water Companies when compared with their excessive Profits; by which the Community may form a shrewd guess, whether imposed upon or not. But this Address is principally intended as an encouragement to a more public and particular Inquiry into this matter; and at the same time to persuade the oppressed to unite in shaking off such tyrannical yoke$$h[electronic resource]. 000632402 260__ $$aLondon :$$bprinted for the author,$$c1790. 000632402 300__ $$a96p. ;$$c4⁰. 000632402 500__ $$aThe letters are signed: John Robbins. 000632402 500__ $$aAt bottom of title page: Entered at Stationers Hall. 000632402 500__ $$aReproduction of original from British Library. 000632402 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 000632402 5104_ $$aEnglish Short Title Catalog,$$cT99877. 000632402 533__ $$aElectronic reproduction.$$bFarmington Hills, Mich. :$$cCengage Gale,$$d2009.$$nAvailable via the World Wide Web.$$nAccess limited by licensing agreements.$$7s2009 miunns 000632402 650_0 $$aAdvisory opinions$$vEarly works to 1800. 000632402 650_0 $$aWater utilities$$vEarly works to 1800. 000632402 655_7 $$aLetters.$$2rbgenr 000632402 752__ $$aGreat Britain$$bEngland$$dLondon. 000632402 852__ $$bebk 000632402 85640 $$3Eighteenth Century Collections Online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://find.gale.com/ecco/infomark.do?contentSet=ECCOArticles&docType=ECCOArticles&bookId=0614100600&type=getFullCitation&tabID=T001&prodId=ECCO&docLevel=TEXT_GRAPHICS&version=1.0&source=library&userGroupName=usi$$zOnline Access 000632402 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:632402$$pGLOBAL_SET 000632402 980__ $$aEBOOK 000632402 980__ $$aBIB 000632402 982__ $$aEbook 000632402 983__ $$aOnline
