meet those requirements must be adopted on a large and
liberal scale, designed and carried out on a broad and
general principle, such principle being peculiarly requisite
in regard to the water-supply, to the drainage, and to the
ready means oftraffic. Experience has taught the in habitants
of Liverpool the necessity for a careful yet bold application
of liberal arid general principles in all of these matters,
and all of them are happily in a fair way of being carried
out ; but as the application of these to their full extent is
not generally understood in any community, the adoption
of them necessarily involves much difference of opinion,
and not nnfrequently gives rise to the ebullition of warmly
expressed feeling. Numerous instances of this could
readily be found in reference to the three topics above
alluded to ; and probably on no one of them was this free-

than respecting the famous Rivington Pike Water-works
scheme. Theoretical contention, however, has now in a
great measure subsided; its place is occupied by a general
desire for the completion of the works, and much anxiety
prevails as to the real state of the operations by which the
' community of Liverpool is to receive so important an ad-
dition to their comforts as will be conferred by a constant
and abundant supply of pure and soft water, such as will
undoubtedly be furnished by the stupendous reservoirs at
Rivington, when they are completed and in full operation,
added to the means of supply already at command.
To supply a general, though necessarily imperfect, idea,
from personal observation, of the present state and rate
of progress of the new works, will be the object of the sub-
joined sketch, in submitting which it may be scarcely
necessary to state that perfect accuracy of detail is not
aimed at, the purpose being merely to convey an intel-
ligible notion of their leading features, magnitude, and
purposes, and to suggest rather than describe the modue
operandi by which they are being carried into effect.

To ensure a supply of water sufficient for the large and

increasing necessities of Liveriool, it was necessary to go

to a considerable distance ; and to secure an altitude which
would admit the application of the gravitation principle,
ispensable that a hill district should be selected.
