Note 347 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
The very valuable memoirs of Lombardini, Cenni idrografi sulla Lombardia, Intorno al sistema idraulico del Po, and other papers on similar subjects, were published in periodicals little known out of Italy; and the Idraulica Pratica of Mari has not, I believe, been translated into French or English. These works, and other sources of information equally inaccessible out of Italy, have been freely used by Baumgarten, in a memoir entitled Notice sur les Rivières de la Lombardie, in the Annales des Ponts et Chaussées, 1847, 1er sémestre, pp. 129 et seqq., and by Dumont, Des Travaux Publics dans leurs Rapports avec l'Agriculture, note, viii, pp. 269 et seqq. For the convenience of my readers, I shall use these two articles instead of the original authorities on which they are founded.
