Rennie praises the survey (for a canal) undertaken in 1768 by Whitworth saying ‘I have taken many surveys after him but seldom found an error’, but wonders if a more northerly route would be ‘capable of embracing more objects than the line Whitworth surveyed’. He outlines several places that might be brought closer to the line if the route is altered.
