My motive for endeavouring to pcrfcdt the 

 lifi:, and for publifliing itj is three-fold. Firfl;,

 the management of an eftatc, or a farm, with- 

 out having been regularly initiated in the em- 

 ployment, (lands, in his own country, in a 

 iituation fnnilar to that v/hich a praftitioner 

 finds himfelf in, when he firlt enters a frefh 

 Diftrift : and the prefent lift may not be found 

 ufeful to the inexperienced in Norfolk, only j 

 but may ferve, in fome meafure, as a guid'e 

 to thofe in other counties : for although the 

 prices of labour and produce vary in every 

 Diftrift ; yet an authentic regifter of thofe of 

 any one, may ferve to lefTen the number of im- 

 pofitions which gentlemen are liable to, on 

 their firft entrance into the field of pradicc. 

 And, laftly, a colleElion of regifters of rates 

 of labour, in different and diftant Diftrifls, 

 will not only be a flill better guide to 

 the beginner ; but may be found ufeful to 

 praditioners in general ; in afiifting them to 

 regulate their refpedive liUs of prices.
