Great Perseverance of Dr. Richardson. 



in three cuttings, as from the best florin 

 meadow. 



Dr. Richardson, is, perhaps, one of the few 

 men in existence, who would have persevered in 

 defiance of all the opposition and ridicule which 

 have been raised against him ; and he must be 

 esteemed as having succeeded beyond expecta- 

 tion, when it is considered how slowly new 

 practices are introduced, and how reluctantly 

 they are adopted. Turnips have been cultivated 

 in Norfolk and Suffolk for nearly a century, 

 and have rendered those counties more produc- 

 tive than most others in the kingdom ; yet 

 their general and proper mode of cultivation 

 is, at this day, confined to a small portion of 

 England. 



Mangel-wurzel thrives prodigiously on a 

 peat soil ; Dr. Richardson had many acres which 

 appeared to produce heavy crops. Adieu.
