1833.] The Ancient Canals in the Delhi Territory. 127 
The total first outlay for the restoration of the system of canals will by 
this table appear to have been about fifteen lakhs of rupees :—it is im- 
possible on the present occasion to specify the particulars of the various 
works of engineering skill which the nature of these canals rendered 
necessary :—one of the sluice dams was described in our number for Oct. 
1832 (vol. i. p. 454), and we hope hereafter to select for insertion other 
works equally novel and interesting to Engineers, from among the numer- 
ous plans and designs transmitted by the Superintendent to Calcutta. 
Meanwhile, we must conclude this notice with a condensed abstract 
of the revenue of the canals, and the ordinary outlay in maintaining 
them, also compiled from Major Colvin’s statements.
