FARMS.

 pally inckfed-y there being, as has been al- 

 ready obferved, few common-fields at pre- 

 fent in this Dillrift ; and thele few are in 

 general very fmall ; ten, twenty, or thirty 

 acres ; cut into patches and fhreds of two 

 or three acres, down to half an acre, or, 

 perhaps, a rood each *.

 otberwife entire farm, to be cut in two by 

 a flip of glebe or other land lying in it ; and 

 fiill more common for fmall inclofures to 

 be fimilarly fituated* 



Thefe inconveniencies have, no doubt, arifen 

 from common-fields having been inelofed by

 fpoken of: towards the north coaft, feme pretty exteniive 

 common-fields ftill remain open; and fome fev^ in the fou-
