134 SUCCESSION. ig. 



Hundreds of Fleg, South- Walfliam, and Blow- 

 field, as appendages, rather than as parts, of 

 the Dil>ri(ft moil immediately under defcrip- 

 tion : which is furnifhed with a lefs genial foil -, 

 namely, that fliallow, and fomewhat lightifh, 

 ^fandy loam, which maybe called the common 

 covering of the county ; broken, however, in 

 fome places, by a richer, ftronger, deeper foil ; 

 and in others, by barren heaths and unproduc- 

 tive fands ; from which even the Hundreds 

 of Erpingham, Turnflead, and Happing, are 

 not entirely free ; though, perhaps, they en- 

 joy a greater uniformity of foil than any other 

 Diftricl of equal extent in the county. 



This, therefore, is the fite be{l adapted to

 has raifed the name of Norfolk hufbandmen, 

 and which is ftill prefer vcd, inviolate, in this fe- 

 ci uded Diflrid. For a fhallow fandy-lpam, no 

 matter whether it lie in Norfolk or in any other 

 part of the kingdom, there cannot, perhaps, 

 bedevifed a better courfe of culture ; or, taken 

 ail in all, a better fyftem of management, than 

 that which is here in univerfal practice *. 



* If any improvement of the prefent fyOcm can be madi, 

 it wcu'^d perhaps be by adopting the praiSticc of a judici-
