It may poflibly be objected by fome, that the 

 hedges would often be hurt by the boys climbing 

 up to get the fruit; but thofe who make it mould 

 remember, or be told, that the bed kinds of cyder- 

 fruit are fo hard and auftere at the time of their 

 being gathered, that nobody can eat them, and 

 even hogs will hardly touch them. But the great- 

 er!: benefit, where no fruit-trees are planted, arifes 

 from the thorns and wood which quick-hedges 

 yield for the fire, and many other purpofes. 



I have in a fingle year, from my hedges, and 

 the trees I planted in them, cut as much wood 

 as I fold for eight or ten guineas, exclufive of 

 the expence, and the quantity I ufed for other 

 purpofes. 



I am, Gentlemen, 



your humble fervant, 



A. B.
