Remarks by the Committee of Farmers, On a Late Publication by the Authority of the Trustees on the Turnpike-Roads for the County of Edinburgh: with Answers to the Observations of Their Committee on the Protest of the Dissenting Heritors.

Notes

A rare report arguing for the preservation of farmers' right to transport dung and manure toll-free on the recently developed turnpike roads around Edinburgh. The debate was conducted during a period of upheaval, as Thomas Telford's plans for improvements meant miles of new roads were constructed across Scotland, mainly in the Highlands but with some projects in the central belt as well. Library Hub locates only one copy, in the NLS.
