Too much cannot be faid in Recommendation of thefe Let- 

 ters. Our Nobility and great Statesmen fhould read them, 

 as the Wnter has delivered his Opinion on Subjects which near- 

 ly concern his Fellow Subjects as an independent People, and 

 every iinjoyment in Life as any People at all. 



"Our Representatives fhouid read them, not for their 

 own baIcc-8 as Individuals only, but as Legiflators, in order to 

 confirm themfelves, from this mafterly Chain of Reafonine, in 

 the true Principles of Legiflation and Government. 

 . ' Our Farmers, let their Stock of Knowledge from Expe- 

 rience be as great as their Vanity would have it, may yet gather 

 from thefe Letters many Things ufefnl, and fome that will well 

 re r« a ^r. for the Time the y employ 'n the Perufal. 



TheMANUFACTURER, the leaft likely of anv to hope for 

 lltrudion from fuch a VVork, will not wholly read them in vain. 

 1 his able Wnter has, with great Force of Argument, found- 

 ed upon juft and folid Principles, endeavoured to remove thofe 

 popular Prejudices which at this critical Time arc the moft pre- 

 valent." r
