youthful and growing {late ; alfo fuch part of 

 the growing timbers themfelves, as, by {land- 

 ing too clofe, crowd and check each other, 

 iliould be marked and fold at the prefent mar- 

 ket-prices ; though thefe prices may be fome- 

 what below par. 



For if to the intercft of the money, which 

 would arife from fuch fale, be added the de- 

 creafe of value, or the injury incurred by fuf- 

 fering timber of the above defcription to re- 

 main {landing, the proprietor of fuch timber 

 is lofing annually from five to ten per cent. 

 of its prefent value, by fuch improper con- 

 (dudl. Thus fuppofe an eftate has five thou- 

 fand pounds worth ot timber upon it, bear- 

 ing the above defcription ; its proprietor is 

 loiing from three to five hundred pounds a 

 year by fuffering it to remain {landing. 



Whenever the price {hall hereafter rife to 

 what may be efleemed a fair felling price, 

 then, but not till then, falls ought to be made 

 of all full-grown timbers ; alfo of fuch grow- 

 ing trees as, from their fituation, are or may 

 foon become injurious to each other. Much, 

 no doubt, depends on embracing the lucky 

 moment of falc ; nevcrthclefs, perhaps, more
