It is impossible to quit this our stand point without making one closing 

 remark on the scenery around. "Industry, which magic-like can smooth the 

 mountains rugged brow, and call forth landscapes from the dreary waste," 

 has been exercised here. Look at those waving fields of corn stretching far 

 up the mountain side, displacing the gorse and the heather. All those ploughed 

 fields are being prepared for a crop of turnips. In Breconshire at least 

 agriculture has made great strides, and we witness a scene to-day very different 

 from that which the old historian saw (applause).
