TO THE READER. 



IT is requested that this Paper, as well as the former 

 account of the agricultural state of Essex, by the Mefs, Griggs 

 of Hill-House, may be returned to the Board of Agriculture, at 

 its Ofice in London, with any additional remarks and observa- 

 tions, which may occur on the perusal^ written on the margin, 

 as soon as may be convenient. 



It is hardly necessary to add, that the Board does not 

 consider itself responsible for any faEt or observation contained 

 in this Report, which, at present, is printed and circulated, for 

 the purpose merely of procuring farther information, respeding 

 the Husbandry of this district, and of enabling every one^ to 

 contribute his mite, to the improvement of the country. 



The Board has adopted the same plan, in regard to all 

 the other Counties in the united Kingdom ; and will be happy 

 to give every assistance in its power, to any person, who may 

 be desirous of improving his breed of Cattle, Sheep, &c. or of 

 trying any useful experiment in husbandry, 



London, February, 1795.
