farms would be particularly profitable ; as 

 the inclofures and buildings are already 

 done, confequently, in the above account, 

 the expences would only be pstring, and 

 burning, and liming: The very mention of 

 this fyftem of improvement is fufficient ; it 

 muft be obvious to the meaneft capacity that 

 the profit would be immenfe. 



Upon the whole, the improvement of 

 thefe moors would not only yield a prodi- 

 gious profit clear to the undertaker, but 

 would prove a noble work, confidered in 

 a national light : It would add vaftly to 

 the produdion of food of all kinds, be a 

 very great affiftance to the manufaclures that 

 are conneded with agriculture, and employ 

 a great number of moft valuable people ; iii 

 a word, it would prove a fource of glory 

 and profit to the undertaker, of riches and 

 population to the publick. 



The expediency of improving moors, 

 though not to his own profit alone, Mr. 

 Danby thinks fo great, that he has deter- 

 mined to inclofe from c^o to 60 acres more, 

 for the ufe of his colliers, before the end 

 of the next feafon; and thefe gradual im- 

 provements cannot fail of being attended 

 with extremely beneficial effeds: It v,A\\ 

 •probably be but the beginning of greater 

 tindertakings, in this extenfive trad of
