Mr. Wimpey on (Economical Regijlers. 143 
known, might be attended with much trouble 
and vexation. 
I by no means offer this, as a well digefted plan 
competent to the accomplilhment of the intended 
purpofe; but as the outlines of a lcheme, which 
I am well convinced, by a perfon of abilities, 
might be made perfectly adequate to every pur¬ 
pofe propofed. 
I wdll beg leave to make one obfervation 
more, before I have done. 
In a fertile country like England, which grows 
more corn than its inhabitants can confume, 
and, of courfe, renders it a commercial article* 
it is of great importance to afeertain the follow¬ 
ing fads, for the regulation of the exportation 
of that article. 
I. What is the annual average growth of corn 
in England for a feries of years ? 
II. What is the annual average confumptioa 
for the fame time ? 
Thefe being known, it would appear, what is 
the annual furplus, and confequently, how much 
might be exported annually, confiftently with the 
fafety and well being of the people. This is a 
queftion of the greateft importance to tills coun¬ 
try ; a queftion, the ignorance of which has coil 
this nation millions, and by which our fagaeious 
neighbours, the Dutch, have profited millions. 
1 hough totally negleded, I conceive it might 
be afeertained with no great difficulty or 
trouble
