It is difficult to calculate^ 

 with exactnefs, the a- 

 mount of wear and tear; 

 the only data my mi-? 

 nutes yield me, is the 

 rule in Northumberland, 

 of the blackfmith's per- 

 forming all their work of 

 repairs at 40J. per horfe 

 per annum \ but this is 

 in a country where coals 

 and iron are plentiful ; 

 nor do they afford any 

 new implements at that 

 price. According to this 

 rule, I mould fuppofe the 

 average of the tour would 

 amount, including the 

 renewal^ as well as the 

 repairs, at 4/. per horfe ; 

 and the amount of all 

 other articles, fuch as the 

 wheelwright, carpenter, 

 collar-maker, &c. and 

 the wear, &c. of fun- 

 dries, in all articles, at 

 3/. per horfe more, in all 

 to 7 /. or J
