 difcernible, until it vanifhed imperceptibly. 



The reft of the piece was a tolerable crop ; 

 and the draw clean, except on a part which 

 was lodged ; where the ftraw nearly refembled 

 that round the berbery ; but the grain on that 

 part, though lodged, was much heavier than 

 it was on this, where the crop flood erect.

 piece, took twenty-four of the berberied 

 grains, chofen equally impartially, to balance 

 , it ! fo that, fuppofing the crop in general to

 jured by the berbery would barely be worth 

 forty Shillings , the quality, as well as the 

 quantity, being much inferior.
