&c. is not aflifting; quite the reverfe: I believe 

 it does a great deal. All I contend for is, that 

 clear water appears at and near the fpring-head to 

 have every advantage the other has below, and that 

 the quantity of herbage is greater, and the quality 

 better. The reafon I fubmit to the curious; but, 

 viewed in every light, the quantity of land of the 

 firft divifion is fo fmali compared with the fecond, 

 that in point of national utility there can be no 

 doubt. 



And I candidly own, that there are fprings 

 Wiling out of the bogs in heaths, of which no ufe 

 is made, becaufe, they Jay », the water has no enrich- 

 ing quality belonging to it ; but there the foil is a 

 deep bog inclining to a morafs, and, excepting in 

 the winter, little water iflues out. 



I am, Sir, 



Your moft obedient humble fervant, 



GEORGE BOSWELL. 



P. S. The part of the country I am fituated in 

 is every where furrounded by chalk hills, fome near 

 the fprings, and no where more than two miles 

 diftant (vifible.)
