hufbandman will according to circumflances 

 adopt what he thinks beft. 



We will fuppofe the uncultivated parts of 

 •the wolds to confift of a fquare of 15 miles 

 diameter, containing 144,000 acres : We 

 will allow one perfon for every ten acres, 

 then the people are 14,000, and the produce 

 after the rate abovementioned; the rent 

 72,000/. This increafe of corn and pro- 

 vifions of all forts, together with the mul- 

 tiplying of thofe moft ufeful fubjedts the 

 cultivators of the earth, would be an amazing 

 addition to the ftrength and riches of this 

 kingdom ; and yet this tradt of country is 

 but fmall in comparifon of the many un-

The above calculations may appear in a 

 clearer point of view, if ftated in the fol- 

 lowing manner, viz. 



5000 acres at prefent, produce 625 quarters of 



corn, value 450/. inhabitants 100, rent ^. 250 

 5000 acres improved, will produce 3210 qrs. 



of ditto, value 4107 /. inhabitants 50C, rent 2500 

 The buildings requifite for a farm of 35 /. a 



year, will coft - - - 1 30 



Inclofing 70 acres in the manner propofed, viz. 



with double walls, _ _ _ oqq 



The expences being about 6 /. per acre, to 



improve 50CO acres, will coft - - 30,000 



The intereft of 30,000 /. at ^per cent, is 1200 /. a year. 

 But the advance of rent being 2000/. a year, yields 



near 7 per cent, intcreft. 



But though the improvement of 5000 

 acres might amount to fo large a fum as 



above,
