 was aware of 5 but have received an in- 

 flux of frefli infcrmation I did not ex-

It was my intention, when I came 

 down into the county, to have made 

 EXCURSIONS into its beft-cultivated Dif- 

 trids ; but having found, in the imme- 

 diate environs of the station I have 

 been led to fix in, full employment for 

 the time appropriated at prefent to the 

 county, — I am under the neceflity of 

 poftponing the intended excurfions. I 

 poftpone them, however, with lefs re- 

 gret ; as, in acquiring a general know- 

 ledge of the rural economy of the king- 

 dom, tht primary objei5t is to obtain the 

 "ividely differing f radices of stations 

 chofen in distant counties: — the 

 partial excellencies of intermediate 

 districts, hovvfoever delirable they 

 may be, arc objects oi -a fecondary nature.
