of floating, good water will form for itself 

 a good new soil. I could shew Mr. B. all 

 these sorts of land upon one and the same 

 stream, under the same management, and 

 each equally productive. I could shew 

 him in the same floated meadow, gravelly, 

 boggy, and clay-land, without any appa- 

 rent difference in the crop. 



The floaters in Gloucestershire, when 

 consulted on the practicability and pro- 

 bable advantage of the art, in a situation 

 which they are unacquainted with, never 

 ask, or care, what the land is, provided 

 there is a copious stream, and a quick 

 descent in the meadow. Give them plenty 

 of water that is enriched with the wash of 

 a village, or of a fertile country, and fall 

 enough to keep every drop in motion, and 

 they will pledge themselves to make every 



acre
