where pradifed, precludes the poflibility of placing 

 the tarm-houles in centrical fituationsj yet it ap- 

 pears furpriling that the buildings belonging to the 

 farms in a ftatc of inclofure, fliould Hill remain at 

 filch a diftance from the farms ; there being but 

 very few inftances where the houfcs are properly 

 fituated in the centre of the farms. The inconve- 

 niences which the farmers mutt labour under 

 in confequence of refiding at fo great a diftance 

 from their farms ; and the lofs of time and confe- 

 quent extra-expencc, of bringing the produce from 

 the extremity of the farm to their hotne yard, (as 

 it is here called), and of carrying the manure to 

 the diilant fields, are lb obvious, as to require no ex- 

 planation. 



The farm buildings are in general as badly con- 

 (Irufted, as they are improperly placed. It being only 

 on fuch farms where the houfes have been recently 

 built, and under the diredtion of the landlord's

 large. — Firjl, In refpeft to the individuals interefted. Upon the deer and cattle being 

 totally excluded from the woods, no interior fences would be required, and the proprietor 

 would be at liberty to continue fuch parts of his property as he might think, fit, in a wood- 

 land flate, and would be enabled to introduce fuch a fyftem of management in the cul- 

 tivation of thofe parts continued in wood, by means of which their produce might be 

 very confiderably increafed. The remainder of the parts not contmued in wood, might 

 be cleared and grubbed up, and converted to iome ufeful purpofes of agriculture. The 

 commoner, inltead of depending upon the precarious and uncertain advantage arifing 

 from turning his flock, into the woods, would become the poffeffor of a portion of land, the 

 produce of which, when properly cultivated, would be a certain and valuuole refource in 

 contributing towards the maintenance of himfelf and his family. Secondly, In regard to the 

 national advantage. Upon the inclofure of the fields and commons, an improved fyftem 

 of management in the cultivation of the arable lands would take place, by which means 

 an increafed quantity of corn and gi-ain would be brouuht to market. The pfifture knd 

 mif^ht be very much improved by the aid of meliorating crops and artificial grafles, which 

 would be the means of producing an improved breed of catrle and fheep. And, lafily 

 Property, in however fmall portio is it mig'it be div ded, would become entire, aid free 

 from thofe inconveniences that muft ever attend it when held and enjoyed by a mixture 

 of interefts fo extremely inimical to each other.
