CONCLUSION. [Chap. XI. 



the number would have been that of the " one 

 stalk" mentioned in Pharaoh's dream of the seven 

 years of plenty. As to the gardener of my Sovereign, 

 I send you this plant, hoping that, during the reign of 

 His Majesty, and the reigns of all his royal successors, 

 England may be blessed with that plenty, which the 

 general cultivation of this plant is calculated con- 

 stantly to ensure. 



I am, Sir, 



Your most humble and 



Most obedient Servant, 



Wm. CoBBETT, Jun.
