Tythes are generally taken in kind. 



Poor rates 3 d. in the pound ; they fpin 

 flax and wool. Mod of them drink tea twice 

 a day. 



Eftates are either large, or under 100/. a 

 year : Very few gentlemen of 2, 3, 4, or 

 500 /. a year. 



The farmers do not carrv their corn above 

 three miles. 



One inclofure in particular breaks into the wood 

 in the moil pictu refque manner imaginable. This 

 end of the lake is bounded by cultivated hills al- 

 ready mentioned, which are viewed from hence 

 to much advantage ; they rife from the more 

 with great magnificence. To the left a ridge of 

 hanging woods, fpread over wild ground, that 

 breaks into bold projections, contrafting the 

 elegance of the oppofite more in the fineft man- 

 ner. 



Having thus viewed the moil pleafmg objects 

 from thefe points, let me next conduct you to a 

 fpot, where, at one glance, you command them 

 all, in frelh iituations, and each affuming a new 

 appearance. For this purpofe you return to tiie 

 village, and taking the bye road to the turnpike, 

 (not that by which you came,) mount the hill 

 without turning your head, (if I was your guide I 

 would conduct you behind a fmall hill, that you 

 might come at once upon the view,) till you al- 

 moit gain the top, when you will be ftruck with 

 iiftoniihment at the profpect fpread forth at your 

 feet ; which, if not the moft fuperlative view 

 that nature can exhibit, fhe is more fertile in 

 beauties than the reach of my imagination will 

 allow me to conceive. It would be mere vanitr
