 duct : This is very extraordinary. I con- 

 cluded from it, that there mult be flrong 

 variations in the averages of the grains re- 

 spectively j that the higher rented lands 

 mull be much fuperior to the lower in 

 wheat, though interior in other grains -, 

 this induced me to can: up the averages of 

 each, and the remit furprized me, for the 

 proportions are not at all in favour of the 

 larger rents. Thefe foils, I conclude, are, 

 upon an average, not very different, and that 

 the variations in the rent arife from other 

 circumfhances ; and the farmers that pay 

 the higher ones, are re-imburfed in other 

 crops than grain, in a greater proportion 

 than thofe who have their lands fo much 

 cheaper ; for we may be certain high rents 

 are re-imburfed in fomething. 



However, this idea of inequality muft 

 not be carried too far : We certainly are 

 not to expect that the average product is to 

 be doubled with the rent ; that would be 

 to contradict all common facts. The rife 

 of eight bufhels to the difference between 

 g s. gd. and 8s.~ 6d. is confiderable; for we 

 mould coniider, that the acre which yields 

 but twenty, coils the farmer in every thing, 

 but rent, as much, or very near as much, 

 as that which produces twenty-eight bum- 

 tirriftance of vail confequence. 

 And the fuperiority "of this eight bufhels 

 muft be c ed as an index to all the 



other
