Suppofe the fquare mile be divided into 

 three farms ; 900 /. allowed for buildings ; 

 the account will then be as under :

In whatever manner the improvement is 

 calculated, the fame conclufion muft be 

 drawn ; for the profit will prove imraenfe. 

 A landlord would as foon improve for 9/. 

 1 1 J-. per cent, as 20 /. per cent. ; for the firfl 

 is as unattainable to him in any other appli- 

 cation of his money as the latter. 



But in all thcfe modes of improving", 

 I have granted flir more than fadls 

 required, or would even allow ; for if a 

 gentleman would really fct about an im- 

 provement with fpirit, he ought to begirt 

 with the firm refolutions of keeping the 

 land in his own hands, till it was laid 

 down to grafs : f'or then he not only gains 

 the profit of an improvement, but knows 

 the certainty of its being permanent. I
