The ivajle lands in this county contain, at a very 

 low computation, from 10 to 20,000 acres: the me-

 miferable breed of flieep, belonging to the adjacent 

 cottagers and occupiers, placed there for the fake 

 of their fleeces, the meat of which feldom reaches 

 the market, a third fleece being moflly the lad re- 

 turn they live to make.

 of being converted into tillage of the firft quality;

 waflied down from the extenfive flieep-walks on the 

 adjoining hills, and above all well fupplied with the 

 waters of the numerous fprings, (lands foremofl; 

 nor is there in this county (rocks excepted) a part 

 not accefllble to the plough, but would produce 

 mofl: excellent timber. As to the prefent mode of 

 commonage, it is fo radically had as not to admit of im- 

 provement, without a total alteration.
