I HAVE, therefore, at length obtained a 

 General View of the Established 

 Practices of England. And, altho' 

 I have had a partial View of thofe of 

 Scotland, it is not my intention to ex- 

 tend my Remarks to that part of the Ifland, 

 or to Wales, until J have, in fome mea- 

 fure, rounded my phviy with refped to 

 England. 



Since the Publication of the Rural 

 Economy of the Midland Counties, 

 a BOARD OF AGRICULTURE has 

 been appointed, and a Plan of Survey, 

 iimilar to my own, has been adopted : 

 circumflances which caufed fome appre- 

 henlion, in my friends, and a degree of 

 alarm, in my Bookfellers, left the Reports 

 of the Board fhould fuperfede the ufe of 

 theREGiSTERS I had publifhed,and fhould 

 render abortive an undertaking, on which I 

 had expended the mofl valuable part of life. 



I confess.
