JV* O T E S. 



(a) Sir Thomas Beevor fays— "Thefe direaions are moft 

 ** judicious, and have, on long and repeated experience, been 

 " found efficacious.'' 



(Jb) Dr. Temple is for laying on a much larger quantity, 

 and favs, " 60, 80, nay 100 loads of fand will be found necef- 

 " fary, after drainage, to effeft a cure for fuch land, and to 

 P make it firm and fruitful." The Dr. in my opinion, would 

 much over do the thing — though, if the expencc be out of 

 the queftion, I have no objection to twenty loads. It is not 

 fo much for adding depth to the foil, as for giving encourage- 

 ment to the white clover, by checking the rougher herbage 

 on the furface, which chokes and overpowers it. Sir Tho- 

 mas Beevor conceives my meaning much better, where he 

 fays, ' ; Such quantity may fo far invigorate the Dutch clover 

 «• (the plants of which, though exifting before, were fo dimi- 

 M nutive as to have efcaped obfervation) as to render it con- 

 u fpicuous ; which is, I conceive, what the author of tins 

 " view meant, when he fays — that the earth is every where 

 * s impregnated with it."
