 being made good land, they only deny the 

 expediency of the bulinefs. Let us therefore, 

 in the next place, confider that point. 



But firfl: I fliould remark, that the third 

 divifion of moor-land, given above, is of a 

 much fuperior quality to the firft and fecond, 

 brakes and whins being allowed by all the 

 neighbours of the moors to be fure hgns of 

 good land ; confequently ihc fourth is better 

 than the third. Thtjifth divifion is univer- 

 fally allowed to be better than any foil that 

 is black and yields ling. Thcfixth^ that is 

 the boggy moors, are reckoned in the 

 north very bad, but I believe rather from 

 the fuperior expence of the improve- 

 ment, than from experimental knowledge. 

 The feventh foil is reckoned much better 

 than the fixth. As to the eighth divi- 

 fion, it is needlefs to mention it, being of 

 jtfelf only, with mclofing, richly worth 

 1$ s. an acre. 



From this flight review, it is plain that 



the great point is the improvement of the 



firjl^ fccond^ and //'v//7 divifions, they being 



not only the moft doubtful, but much the 



moft common fpecies. 



The firil bufincfs in all improvem.ents is 

 the inclofure, w^hich, upon many of the 

 moors, is a matter of no dilRculty to deter- 

 mine, as immenie tracts are abfolute pro- 

 perty, without any right of commonage.
