220 Review of Peebles Survey'. May 



Scottiih clergy for executing rural furveys, are more confirm- 

 ed by the perufal of the one now under confideration ; and we can 

 with truth declare, that the different branches of rural economy 

 and practical huibandry could not have been defcribed wich greater 

 accuracy; nor could exifting abufes, and the bed way of redify- 

 ing them, have been more ably pointed out, than is done by the 

 reverend author of the Peebles furvey. In our next, we fhall 

 take up another furvey executed by a gentleman of the fame or- 

 der, and truft we will have no occafion to change our fenti- 

 ments refpecting the natural fitnefs of the eilabliHied clergy, for 

 defcribing the rural economy of the diitricls with which they aiC 

 connefted.

It appears that a fmall omiffion had taken place in the above 

 work, and the author, like a man of liberal principles, haftens to 

 correft it. 



TO THE CONDUCTOR OF THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE. 



Sir, 



As my agricultural furvey of Peebles has chiefly been indebt- 

 ed to your work for any notice which it has attracted from the 

 public, and as it will chiefly be confined within the region 

 of your circulation, I will take it kind, if at any time you 

 fhould think proper to dired: the attention of the puhlic to it, 

 by extracts, or otherwife, if you will indulge me in that op- 

 portunity of fupplying an omiffion, of which I have been unin- 

 tentionally guilty. It is the omiffion of the hot-houfe at Hartree, 

 belongip.g to Colonel Dickion, which I had not recolledled when 

 enumerating the hot-houfes of the county. As the great pur- 

 pofe of my work was to notice the profitable rather than the or- 

 natnental, it is no wonder that fome of the latter fhould efcape 

 me. The fpirited practice of many tenants would alfo have 

 "well deferved notice, had a particular enumeration been intended; 

 but I confined myfelf to fuch praftices as were primary in the 

 introdudion of the new fyllem, or as were more illuilrative of 

 fome general principle. I am, 



Yours, Sec.
