Recapitulation of the Averages and per Centages. 

 CULTIVATION. 



• This Table is of use merely to shew the rise per cent ; but will not at all explain the real expense attend- 

 ing these crops. To take this county of Essex for example, where the oxpensc of an a;re of wh-at is stated at 

 19s. 3rf. and £\. 4s. There were ten answers from Essex : sovcral of tlirm left these points unanswered ; Mr. 

 Pung did not include aiiy expense of teams Mr. Gnggs returned an acre of wheat 18s 6d.\n 1790, and jfi. 4J. 

 in 1 803, ei'idently, frnm the sums, omitting many articles, oonie cori\s; "ndents in other counties omitted rent 

 and tithe ; some omitted seed ; others took no iio;ice of manu'C ; and thus the returns were found so imperfect 

 upon every point except in the difference between rlie two periods", th it the second lei ter v/as written .0 supply 

 the defi. .ency. The grand point, however, of the rise per cent, remains unimpeached by this circumstance, as 

 the two periods were returned on the same })rinciple by all.
