Agricultural Improvements. It is quite out of the question to expect that 

 the farmer will undertake those more extensive improvements which tend to 

 produce a permanent increase in the value of the land. Nevertheless the 

 opportunity of making them occurs so often, and the advantage attending 

 them is so obvious, that both parties ought to be disposed to favour the 

 adoption. It might be laid down as a rule, that the landlord should furnish 

 the necessary capital, which should be fixed at a certain sum ; and that the 

 farmer should pay him interest for it, at the rate of ten per cent., during the 

 remainder of his lease. Under such an arrangement the farmer would never 

 propose any improvement, of the utility of which he was not well convinced ; 

 and the landlord would only have to consider whether the improvements were 

 likely to be permanently beneficial to the estate. Vol. I. p. 51.
