GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. 



JIN this Report, it has been my aim to give a 

 faithful account of the Norfolk hufbandry, and 

 fuch other cufloms as are neceffafily connected 

 with it, without extenuation or exaggeration ; and 

 the intelligent farmer, in other parts, will be under 

 no difficulty in determining which parts to adopt, 

 and which to reject. 



In «"he perufal of a treatife of this kind, it is in- 

 cumbcnt on the reader to lay afidc all prejudice, 

 and Puffer his mind to be open to conviction — 

 othenvife, I (hall have written, and he will read, in 

 vain. I mould not have thought it neceffary to 

 introduce this caution, if it were not almoft gene- 

 rally allowed, that hufbandmen are more obfli- 

 nately attached to old practices, let them be ever 

 lo bad, than any other defcription of men, and are 

 confequehtly averfe to the introduction of any 

 thin^ new. let it come ever fo well recommended ;
