In the ground at Battersea Rise pitched upon for the Penitentiary
Establishment, the practicability of such a communication from London to the
most distant Sea-Port might might be ascertained without any intimation given of
the purpose. The ground will admitt of a length of above half a mile in a
strait line, of which length a tube will not improbably be laid down for the
purpose of the establishment. Hundreds of miles might be made out by returns
of such a tube: and of the experiment succeeded with these returns,
much more would it in a strait line. By this means the practicability of a
communication of this sort (with Dover for example?) might be compleatly
ascertained without , and the minimum of intermediate stations that
