throwing a draw-bridge over to the oppofite neck 
of land, and making a quay all the way along, di- 
rectly oppofite to the town: this idea brought to 
my remembrance the fituation of the port of Yar- 
mouth in Norfolk, where, on the Suffolk fide of the 
haven, which now belongs to Mr. Anfon, member 
for Litchfield, and which twenty-five years ago was 
rented by butchers at thirty fhillings an acre, it has 
been, by Mr. Kent, agent to the eftate, divided into 
{mall parcels, and let on building leafes, and is now 
become a perfect quay, and covered with buildings 
and ftores of all kinds. At firft fight, the borough 
of Great Yarmouth ‘viewed this creation with a 
jealous eye; but the advantages accruing to them, 
in point of convenience to their trade, have been fo 
great, that there is fcarcely a merchant of eminence 
refiding there at this time who does not hold a part 
of this land, and is anxious to lay out his money in 
buildings for the convenience of his merchandize ; 
this has been a wonderful improvement to the owner 
of the fee, as it has increafed his income from the 
price paid as before-mentioned to feven pounds an 
acre, and has afforded a real convenience to the | 
trade of the town; andI have never feen any place 
more capable of improvement than the ground be- 
fore defcribed. 
In paffing over this part of this county, the foil 
is found extremely barren, and will certainly re- 
quire long time and trouble, befides great expence,
