 give me. 



I am much obliged to Sir George 

 Strictland, Bart, for fhewing me his 

 manufactory. It is an undertaking that 

 does him honour. 



The value of the intelligence, I received 

 from SirDiGBY Legard, Bart, will fpeak 

 fufficiently for itfelf ; but I cannot avoid 

 acknowledging the liberal manner in which 

 he confented to improve my work. His 

 memoir upon the wolds husbandry, is a 

 piece full of excellent obfervations. 



I beg the Reverend Mr. Comber of Eafl 

 Newton will accept the flight return of 

 thanks for the kind and friendly manner 

 in which he aflifted me in profecuting my 

 defign. I gained by his means feveral 

 valuable articles of intelligence. 



I wifh I could return my thanks to 

 Ch arlesTurner, Efq; in a manner ade- 

 quate to the fpirit of his agriculture. His 

 undertakings do him much honour : His 

 experiments on cabbages, clover, potatoes, 

 &c. cannot fail of being of lafling utility 

 to the public. No one could enter more 

 into the nature of my defign or forward it 

 with greater alacrity. The w^eek I very 

 agreeably fpent at Kirkleatham, thefe fheets 

 will prove was no idle one. 



Christopher Crowe, Efq; will permit 

 me to tbank him very fnicerely for the 



Obliging
