This account I have obtained from a village between Thornby and Northamp- 

 ton, where the land is a loam and sandy, and easily cultivated. The expenses in 

 1790 not brought forwards, but the general difference about here is at least one- 

 third; which, if deducted from £^467. 95. would leave what may be supposed to 

 have been the expenses of 1790. This mode of farming 96 acres applies all round 

 Northampton for a large tract ; scarce an open field being left, except Naseby, in 

 the western district.
