Between Driffidd and Burlington, the 

 country is various, but chiefly open wolds ; 

 in them the foil is indifferent, and lets froni 

 IS, io js. 6 d, per acre ; but in the inclo- 

 xures it is much dearer. That town is a 

 little fea-port, which is fupported by a 

 flight trade that maintains ten or a dozen 

 fhips, and by the refort of fome company 

 to the quay for bathing. 



From thence to Boynton, the feat of Sir 

 George Strickland^ Bart, the foil is richer, 

 and chiefly inclofed ; but at that place the 

 high wolds are met again. Sir George was 

 fo obliging as to fhew me his woollen 

 manufa(5tory ; a noble undertaking, which 

 deferves the greatefl: praife. In this coun- 

 try, the poor have no other employment 

 than what refults from a moft imperfect 

 agriculture ; confcquently three-fourths of 

 the women and children were idle. It wa? 

 this induced Sir George to found a building 

 l^rge enough to contain on one fide a row 

 of looms of different forts, and on the 

 other a large fpace for women and children 

 ^o fpin. The undertaking was onc^ carried
