 a large eftate like his, the quantity of 

 timber, thus imperceptibly raifed, will 

 be very confiderable, even in the courfe 

 of a twenty-one years leafe. Upon every 

 thoufand pounds a year there will be 

 two thoufand one hundred trees in num- 

 ber, at the end of the leafe ; becaufe, if 

 any fail, the tenants plant the next year 

 a greater number. And if we fuppofc 

 thefe trees to pay only three pence a year 

 each during the demife, which is a mode- 

 rate calculation, they will be worth, at 

 the expiration of the leafe, 288/. i^s*

 at leafl: fix pence a tree yeariy. This 

 fcheme of planting is certainly pra<fti* 

 cable upon every eilate, if a landlord 

 will give his tenants a reafonable bargain 

 in their land, and leafes for their en- 



couraoiement.
