 ufed ; more efpecially for the foundation 

 courfe.

 fome cliftance from the old banks, to catch the 

 fand blown over them , and thus from the 

 wreck of one embankment another might be 

 railed, and the country kept in perpetual 

 fafety. 



Mr. B e has attempted to make the em- 

 bankment a public matter ; but has not fuc- 

 ceeded. It Itrikcs me, however, that it would 

 be well worth his while to defend his own 

 coaft at his own cxpence : but he fays, <* It 

 " is not for me to attack the German Ocean 

 ' fingle-handed." 



Mr. Anfon has hit off a very great improve- 

 ment upon his eftate near Yarmouth. 



On the Suffolk fide of the river, oppofite the 

 Key of Yarmouth, were fome low grounds, 

 let, I believe, as marfli-land. Thefe grounds 

 have lately been divided into lots, and let on 

 building leafes of ninety-nine years, at the 

 greatly improved rent of feven pounds an 

 acre ; befides the advantage which will ac- 

 crue at the expiration of the term.
