into the Sea.
And it would, laſt of all, be of admirable bene­
fit to cleanſe Fiume Sisto from many Trees and Buſhes where­
with it is overgrown.
And with this I conclude, that the Improvement or Drain
poſſible to be made conſiſteth in theſe three particulars.

of the Waters free.
Secondly, in keeping the Principal
Rivers clear from Weeds and Plants.
Thirdly, in keeping
the water of Fiume Sisto in its own Chanel. All which are
things that may be done with very little charge, and to the
manifeſt benefit of the whole Country, and to the rendering
the Air wholſomer in all thoſe Places adjoyning to the Pon­
tine Fens.
