. An encyclopædia of agriculture [electronic resource] : comprising the theory and practice of the valuation, transfer, laying out, improvement, and management of landed property, and the cultivation and economy of the animal and vegetable productions of agriculture, including all the latest improvements, a general history of agriculture in all countries, and a statistical view of its present state, with suggestions for its future progress in the British Isles. Agriculture. 142. 1089. The agricultural implements of Egypt are simple ; but some of them, particularly the contrivances for raising water, very ingenious.

At present there are eighty canals in use for this purpose, some of them twenty, thirty, and forty leagues in length. The lands near the river, as the Delta, are watered directly from it: the water is raised by wheels in the dry season ; and, when the inundation takes place, it is retained on the fields for a certain time by small embankments made round them. 1091.

These are Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers, and Morocco, territories chiefly on the southern shore of the Mediterranean ; rich and celebrated in the ages of antiquity, but at present depressed by the barbarism and fanaticism of their rulers, who are in general tributary to the Porte. 1093. Tripoli is generally distinguished into maritime and inland. In neither is there much agriculture; for the inhabitants of countries on the coast live chiefly by commerce and piracy, and those of the inland parts on plunder and robber)'. Ther
