Excerpt from A Description of the Manner of Improving the Green of Glasgow: Of Raising Water for the Supply of the Public Buildings of That City, &C., &C, As a prelude to the report, which I now present, I have to state, that it appears, that from a remote period the inhabitants of Glasgow have enjoyed the privilege of a public Green, and that our predecessors in office, with a zeal becoming public men, embraced opportunities as they occurred, of enlarging its dimensions, in proportion as the community increased, till at length its boundaries (which are now limited) are such, as to form space capable of answering the important purposes for which it was intended.
