Virgilian husbandry, a term made use of by some 

 authors to express that sort of husbandry, the 

 precepts of which are so beautifully delivered in 

 Virgil's Georgics. Formerly the husbandry in 

 this country was Virgilian, as is shewn by the 

 method of paring and burning the surface, of raf- 

 tering or cross ploughing, and of the care in destroy- 

 ing weeds, upon the same principle, and by much 

 the same means. In those parts along the south- 

 ern coast, where the Romans principally inha- 

 bited, not only the practice, but the expressions, 

 are in many respect the same with those of the 

 ancient Romans ; many of the terms used by the 

 ploughmen being of Latin origin ; and the same 

 with those used by those people on the like occa- 

 sions. TuU, who has established a new method 

 of husbandry, observes, that it is upon the whole 

 so contradictory to this old plan, that it may be 

 called the antivirgUian husbandry, and that no 

 practice can be worse than the Virgilian, 47. 112.
