general obfervations on the nature of

 fuccefs. 



The improvement of a tra£t of waftc 

 land from 60/. a year, to above 1200/. a 

 year, ihould open the eyes of thofe indolent 

 landlords who fleep on in the paths of 

 their predeceflbrs, blind to a meridian 

 fun ; They will poffefs the moft im- 

 proveable of waftes, but leave them in 

 their moft defert ftate, becaufe they fo 

 received them : What has been^ tnay bcy 

 is none of their motto ; but ivhat has not 

 been, fiall not be^ is the drowfy guide of 

 their ad:ions. 



From Fremington^ I took the road to 

 Richfnondj by CiintZy the feat, late of that 

 fpiritcd cultivator Charles Turner, Efq; now 

 of Miles Stapleton, Efq. Kere are alfo to 

 be viewed many incloilires taken in by the 

 former gentleman from a black moor, and 

 improved with great Ipirit ; fuch of them as 

 have been properly attended to, continue 

 very profitable ; none otherwiie but fuch as 



have been very badly managed. Mr. 



Stapleton has in one of them an acre of 

 cabbages, adjoining a field of turnips ; the 

 cabbages, though late planted and not capi- 

 tal, are much fuperior to the turnips ; if 

 moor-land that is wet \n\\\ yield beneficial 

 crops of cabbages, it certainly is a great 

 frefh inducement to cultivate them.
