 amounted to 55 tons and an half; whicH 

 is greatly luperior to any thing that could 

 be conceived in Durham. Eight turnips 

 weighed 20 ftone four lb. ; not the largefl 

 in the field. This is 35t^^« each : a fize for

 comparifon has convinced him that the drill. 



Upon, the whole pleafe the eye, and fill the 

 imagination. 



Winding up to the right, and moving along 

 the terras, which is a natural one, but leads 

 through an extenfive plantation, the views it 

 commands are very fine. You look, down upon 

 the farm, and the hiil upon which it flands, 

 which waves through the valley in a moft pleafing 

 manner •, throwing your eye more in front, you 

 catch a lake breaking upon the view in irregular 

 iheets of water, juft over the tops of the lower 

 woods j the effed: moll truly pifturefque. Upori 

 the right, the whole valley is commanded, and 

 the market town of Staindrop well fuuated among 

 inclofures and llraggling trees. 



Advancing, the profpedl varies, a fine ^wzqv 

 of cultivated hills is feen upori the leftj and the 

 gdthicfarm-houfe, ornamenting all the furround- 

 ing grounds : Defcending into the vale, yod.
