| Title | Unpublished paper, 'On the supply of water from the chalk stratum in the neighbourhood of London' by John Dickinson |
| Date | 26 December 1850 |
| Description | Dickinson aims to explain and illustrate the supply of subterranean water which is always found at certain depths in the chalk strata, the circumstances that influence its natural outflow by springs and rivers, the practicability of draining off that water by an artificial mode of exhaustion, and the changes that would be produced by carrying such an operation into effect on a large scale.
