ing that fourteen years before the regular 

 period of a fall, many trees are discover- 

 ed, which are no longer improving. In 

 that case, if they be taken down and sold 

 for any given sum, a hundred pounds for 

 instance, there would be a clear hundred 

 pounds gained ; as the accumulating in- 

 terest upon any sum doubles it in fourteen 

 years. If it be objected here, that by 

 taking down the trees earlj^ we lose the 

 increasing value of the article ; the an- 

 swer is. We have the space they occupied, 

 and the produce from their stools, to 

 balance against that circumstance. 



We state the extra species of produce 

 the system must naturally create ; not 

 with an intention of estimating its value, 

 for that is impossible, as it will scarcely, 

 in two cases, be alike, but in order to 

 give proprietors an idea of the real cur- 

 rent expences ; it being necessary to fur- 

 nish as correct an estimate of them, as 

 the nature of the case will admit of.
