The original proposition was for a canal 3 feet deep in general, but at the fords only 30 inches; and the original estimate of cost, excluding the tunnel, was £700 a mile south of Harecastle and £1,000 north of that place. The tunnel, a single one, was to cost £10,000.—Wedgwood’s Letters, III, p. 290.
