brought to the community. Following that idea, I 

 will fubjoin a comparative ftatement of the prefent 

 produce of the waftes and commons, with what it 

 would be, after having been inclofed a few years. 



The 40,000 acres of wafte in Berks, in its pre- 

 fent ftate, yield hardly any thing to the community: 

 the miferable keep a horfe, cow, or flieep, gets on 

 tnofl parts of it, in no direft way returns one penny 

 to the ftate: but that my calculation may be diverted 

 of any partiality, I will fuppofc each acre produces, 

 by fome means or other, to the community, an an- 

 nual produce of five {hillings j the amount on the 

 whole will therefore be io,oool. 



If the faid 40,000 acres were inclofed, in a few 

 years the community would have a return from it, at 

 leaft equal to what I fhall here ftate.
