OF NORFOLK. 121 



JV O T E S. 



(a) Mr. Baillie calls it " an awkward complex implement^ 

 •' and what no perfon, that knows good ploughs, would re- 

 " commend or ufe on any account." This is a very harfh 

 remark, and I trull he will here Hand alone in his opinion. 



(£) Mr. Alderman Partridge " thinks, that if the Berk- 

 " (hire waggon can be recommended for durability, as well 

 " as lightnefs, the Norfolk farmer cannot hefitate in adopt- 

 " ing this propofal." I can affure Mr. Partridge, that it is 

 infinitely more durable, from obfervations and enquiries 

 that I have made in both the counties. If a carriage is made of 

 good materials, and put together with fymmetry, it is better, 

 and will laft longer, than it will made too ftrong and clumfy. 

 A heavy carriage, like a great horfe, is worn out by its own 

 weight, more than by what it carries. 



(c) Mr. Baillie further obferves, "that the fame number 

 *' of horfes, yoked in fingle carts, will carry more weight." 

 Admitting this as a faft — a fingle cart will not admit of load- 

 ing fo long a load of hay or corn, in the ftraw, which is what 

 1 ftatcd as the advantage of this carriage.
