Excerpt from The Practice of Making Repairing Roads; Of Constructing Footpaths, Fences, and Drains: Also, a Method of Comparing Roads, With Reference to the Power of Draught Required: With Practical Observations, Intended to Simplify the Mode of Estimating Earthwork in Cuttings and EmbankmentsObservations on the necessity for a general Improvement of the common Roads.While the important main lines of road throughout this country have arrived at a'degree of excellence which may justly entitle them to some share of admira tion, the general condition of our parish and other roads can leave no doubt of the fact, that the principles of roadmaking, simple and easily derivable as they are, from a few obvious truths, are yet but imperfectly understood by the surveyors and others under whose management these roads are placed.If the principles of roadmaking could only be applied with advantage in those cases where ample funds are at the command of the surveyor, they would be compara tively of small value to the surveyors of any but the great turnpike-roads. That the expenditure of great sums of money, however, becomes a necessary couse quence of the determination to obtain a superior road, is a notion so erroneous, so dangerous and prejudicial to the public interests, that it cannot be too strongly guarded against.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

<p>As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)</p>
