Art. VI. — Cursory notes on the Isle of 
France, made in 1827 ^ with a map of 
the Island : by E. Stirling, Esq., 
Member of the] Asiatic Society, 1833, 
Calcutta. Thacker & Co. Qvo. pp. 50. 
Continued from page 270. 
Mr. Stirling proceeds to notice the im- 
provements since the introduction of the 
English administration in the Isle of France. 
Attempts were made to improve the roads 
near the port, which have been attended with 
success. These improvements were under- 
taken on a system which has been little tried 
in wealthy India, — we mean the principle of 
Mr. MacAdam. Mr. Stirling says that there 
is no doubt that the scheme will render the 
most distant, as well as the most rugged 
part of the island, accessible for carriages 
and waggons. He states that the country is 
destitute of wells ; but that, streams descend 
from the mountains and high lands ; and sug- 
gests that the greatest benefit may be deriv- 
ed from conducting these waters to parti- 
cular places. The town of Port Louis is 
therefore adorned with lively fountains, 
which afford an ample supply to the inhabi- 
tants, and, in many cases, the water is intro- 
duced into private houses. Nothing can be 
more true than that Mr. Stirling labours to 
impress upon the mind of his reader, that 
not only the health of the people, but the 
advancement of agriculture, manufactures, 
and commerce, in a tropical climate, depend 
on the economy used in the distribution of 
the waters. Mr. Bourdonnois, sensible of its 
importance, displayed much philanthropic 
exertion in conveying water to several places 
affording an agreeable supply at each jet 
d'’eau of the clearest and sweetest water. 
What a splendid example I were it but fol- 
lowed in this City of Palaces, where nothing 
but filthy and abominable tank water is had, 
and even that in small quantities in most 
parts of Calcutta and its suburbs, how 
much sickness, bowel complaints especially, 
would be prevented I 
“ Formerly the water was hrouaht by means of 
aqiieducis from the “ grand liver,” and the hill 
which ovetloohs the port, but now the town is also 
supplied from the side of Dainplemousses. This 
last work lias been only lately effected; about a 
mile from the town, oti the northern side, and near 
the road to Pamplemousses, is seen a very hand.
