 a great scale. These advantages have not been wanting on the 

 present occasion. 



After considering deliberately how the proposed plan could 

 best be executed, the following appeared to him the most simple^ 

 and the most comprehensive that he could devise^ 



I. To consider those " preliminary points," to which a farm- 

 er ought to attend, otherwise he can never expect to carrv on, 

 in a successful manner, any system of husbandry. These parti- 

 cular's are, — Climate ; — Soil ;~Subsoil ; — Elevation ; — As])ect ; 

 — Situation ; — Tenure, whether in property, or on lease ;^- 

 P.eiit ; Burdens on, and Size of the Farm. 



II. To inquire into the nature of" Those mecms of cultivation^ 

 which are essenti^d to insure its success: tliese are Capital; — • 

 Regular Accounts; — Arrangement of Agricultural Labour; — • 

 Farm Servants; — Labourers in Husbandry; — Live Stock; — 

 Implements ; — Agricultural Buildings ; — Command of Water;— ^ 

 Divisions of Fields ; — and Farm Roads. 



III. To point out " The various anodes of improving Land," 

 by Cultivating Wastes ;— Inclosing; — Draining; — Manuring; — . 

 Paring and Burning; — Fallowing; — Weeding ;— Irrigation; — 

 Flooding ; — Warping ;— Embanking ; — and Planting. 



IV„ To explain " The various modes of occvpijing( T^and," in

 — and, 



V. To offer some general remarks on '' The means of im- 

 proving a country." By diffusing Information; — By removing 

 Oi)stacles to Improvement ; and, — By positive Encouragement. 



This work is intended to form one large volume octavo (and 

 will be publislicd early in August), in the body of which, general 

 principles can alone be dwelt upon. Where particular informa- 

 tion is necessary, it will be inserted in notes ; and where the sub- 

 jects are of great importance, and require minute details, it is 

 proposed to consider them in separate dissertations*
