 bulhels in a year j if no other valuable ufe could be

 from before their eyes, and view with a liberal and 

 expanded mind the wonderful works of the great 

 Creator in the vegetable world, what beauties, what 

 treafures would they behold 1 Food and raiment for

P, S. I know a gentleman that lives near Afhford 

 in Kent, who has a grove of Spanifh chefnut- trees 

 that fupplies him with good fruit fufficient for his 

 family, and prefents to his friends 5 and frequently 

 yields a furplus that fells for feven or eight pounds; 

 many of the trees contain feven or eight tons of 

 timber.
