RECOMMENDATION, 



WE have read, with great fatisfadlion, 

 Twenty-feven ESSAYS ON NATIONAL IM- 

 PROVEMENTS UPON AGRICULTURE, BY 

 DAVID YOUNG, IN PERTH. 



We cannot help thinking we only do Mr 

 YOUNG juftice by teftifying our approbation 

 of thefe Eflays. They are, in general, plain, 

 practical, and fuited to the capacities of the 

 Farmers, who ought to read and praclife 

 them, and extremely ufeful for the improve- 

 ment of the nation in general, and of many 

 farms in particular. 



The author's chief defign is to mew, were 

 the methods he recommends adopted, that 

 two thirds of the average feed fown in Scot- 

 land may be faved ; and alfo, that the lands 

 in Britain, particularly in Scotland, might 

 be made productive of ten times the quantity 

 of corn and grafs, forty years hence, that 

 they produce at prefent. 



We are convinced of the practicability and 

 propriety of the methods pointed out by Mr 



YOUNG
