moft profitable and ufeful, as well as congenial? Are 
there not trees or fhrubs that would flourifh in 
fuch fpots, and bear fruits, whofe juices might be 
turned to many purpofes? 
Is not this the cafe with the berries of the white}, 
or mountain afh, in the coldeft parts of Wales, of 
which I have read, that its red berries, fermented, 
afford a grateful acid juice, which is ufed as com- 
mon beverage? 
Doubtlefs from northern climates we might learn, 
what is moft ufeful, under fuch circumftances as now 
preclude the adoption of our ufual fruits. 
I think plain inftrn&ions on all topicks of farming, 
if adopted on the plan of the moral traé&s of the 
Cheap Repofitory, would be highly beneficial; would 
fell among all farmers and young perfons about 
them, and thereby exclude thofe pernicious works 
that are now intruded on their attentions by indigent 
itinerants, and operating in the worft way podflible 
on their morals. 
I have now to apologize for thefe few remarks— 
accept them as a little tribute of regard for your 
: Jabours, and as from one who will be glad to em- 
‘brace any future opportunity that may enable him 
to co-operate with the wifhes of the Bath Saciety- 
I am, dear fir, 
Your moft humble feryant, | | 
Bath, 1797. JOHN FELTHAM.
