millions*: The remainder is thirty-two 

 millions; for fuch lands as compofe the 

 preceding two hundred and fifty farms; 

 that is, grafs and arable; including good 

 and bad, cultivated and uncultivated -f. 



According to the preceding, the average, 

 in every particular of the whole tour, this 

 quantity of land will contain as follows. 



State, Rental, and Value ^Soil. 



Acres in all, — 32,000,000

 four counties of EJ/ex, Hertford/hire, Middlefex, and

 There are many reafons for fuppofing the number 

 greater than I have taken j fo that if my Heduftion of 

 two millions is thought too little, tha. objection may 

 be nearly removed by fuppofing a greater total. When 

 there is fuch an uncertainty in the real total, the beft 

 light to view the following calculations in, is that of 

 thirty-two millions of acres, whether more or lefs than 

 England: Scotland, Wales, and Ireland arc very near at 

 hand to fupply deficiencies.
