TO THE READER. 



EFORE the following detailed account of the impro- 

 co ved System of Husbandry adopted in Scotland, is com- 

 ^ municated to the public, I feel it incumbent upon me, 

 >- to give the intelligent Farmers of that part of the uni- 

 ^ ted kingdom, from whom my information has been de- 

 3 rived, an opportunity of considering it, that the risk of 

 any material error may be prevented. 



It would be impossible indeed, for one immersed in 

 such a multitude of avocations, to hazard any publica- 

 tion on so important a subject, without having it previ- 

 ously considered by some intelligent friends, who will 

 take the trouble of examining it, in the state of what 

 may be called printed manuscript , and for the purpose 

 of being favoured with their valuable remarks upon it, 

 oo this paper is printed for circulation. 



It is therefore requested, that the reader, as soon as 



-o he can find leisure, thoroughly to examine the paper, 



* will please return it with his remarks, (in packets under 



CL. an ounce weight, if residing at a distance from Edin- 



burgh), addressed to Sir JOHN SINCLAIR, Bart., M. P. 



Charlotte Square, Edinburgh.
