remain for improvement. The moment that thefe 

 (hall have been inclofed, and buildings for occupa- 

 tion erefled on them, they will be worth for a term 

 as many guineas per annum, and would be improved 

 to a higher value. The amount of capital employed 

 in fuch improvement in buildings, inclofure, crops, 

 flock, &c. might on this rich land be 20I. per acre. 

 Deduft the prefent capital, il. 12s. 6d. per acre, re- 

 mains increafe 18I. 7s. 6d. per acre; which j upon 

 8000 acres, adds 147,000!. to the national capital* 

 By improving this traft, the increafed annual pro- 

 du£l would probably be five pounds per acre, or 

 40,000!. per annum. 



Ca?inock-Heat/} is the mofl extenfive wade in this 

 county, but its extent cannot be eafily determined 

 with accuracy; I ellimate it at about forty fquare 

 miles, or upwards of 25,000 acres. Large tracts of 

 land on the North and Weft parts of this wafte con- 

 fift of a good light foil, adapted to the turnip and 

 barley culture: the Eaft and South parts are a colder 

 gravelly foil, in many places covered with heath to 

 a vaft extent; yet I have no doubt but the whole 

 may be brought into cultivation, and that fome of 

 our inclofed land now under cultivation is not at all 

 of a fuperior quality to this wafte. 



Siitton-Coldjield is alfo a very extenfive wafte, of 

 no other ufe but as a flieep-walk, or rabbit-warren; 

 that part of it in StafFordftiire contains, according 

 to an eftimate by a very intelligent refident near the 



fpot,
