So complex a view as this is, however 

 reduced from the preceding tables, will by 

 no means convey a clear idea of the po- 

 pulation of thefe farms j we muft, there- 

 fore, reduce the feveral numbers to fingle 

 ones of the number of fouls to each farm, 

 and add the farmers and the families of 

 them and the labourers ; and by calculating 

 the proportion per hundred acres of arable 

 land, the view of population will be clear 

 and complete. 



But fome data are requifite to calculate 

 on. I fhall fuppofe that only one-fixth of 

 the farmers are unmarried, and only one- 

 tenth of the labourers. Thefe proportions 

 are different from thofe I ufed in my Six 

 Weeks Tour ; but from further information 

 from feveral quarters, I apprehend them 

 nearer the truth ; I alfo calculate each fa- 

 mily at five fouls upon an average. 



The proportion of one-fixth of the far- 

 mers being married, with families of five 

 fouls, is twenty-fix fouls to fix farms, or 

 four and two-fixths per farm, which, to 

 avoid fractions, muft be called four. 



Nine-tenths of the labourers being mar- 

 ried, and forming families of five people, 

 make forty-fix fouls to ten families, or four 

 and fix-tenths : Now as there will be fome
