 the value of bones alone imported for manure was not 

 less than £541,845, during the five years ending in 

 1835 : add to this rape-seed, 354,887 quarters, which, 

 at a fair price, was worth £621,000; also rape and 

 linseed cake, 2,313,411 cwts. which quantity, supposing 

 one half to be rape, and the otJier half linseed cake, at 

 7s. per cwt., will amount to £809,693, making a total 

 on these articles alone of £1,672,538 sterling ; added 

 to which, large importations are taking place in 

 Scotland, and other parts of the Empire, of animalized 

 carbon, at £3. 3s. per ton. 



Mr. Kimberley, who is farming extensirely at 

 Trotsworth, near Egham, in Surrey, observes, in des- 

 cribing the valuable discovery of his " liquid manure" : — 



" And all this is going on (that is, the importation of 

 Foreign manures) while, at a moderate calculation, 

 from three to four millions of pounds sterlin/j in value of 

 what forms the staple nmnure of foreign countries is 

 washed into our rivers — a shameful waste, and in many 

 cases a dangerous nuisance — the evils and loss from 

 which are ably set forth in the work on * Liquid 

 Manures,* by Cuthbert William Johnson, Esq. ; and in 

 the * Report,' by Dr. Gninville, to the Directors of the 

 Thames Improvement Company. These works are at 

 this time highly worthy of the attention of every 

 Landed Proprietor and Farmer, as it is there shewn 

 that in London alone there is a waste annually of 



Imoih 1797 to 1811, 20 years, tlie value of Foreign Com imported 

 rxeeeded 57 Millions slerlin";.
