The mofl proper fituation for a warren is a 

 o-ently rifing ground, with an afped between 

 the eaft and fouth, rather inclining to the eaft,

 and liable to perilli with little wet or cold. If 

 the land is a clay-foil, the rabbits are difgufted 

 with the trouble of making their burrows, and 

 are tempted to look out for a lighter foil* Wet

 bits on. 



Rabbits are of a very feeding nature, and on 

 the pooreft land will get fat in mild weather; 

 but dry frofty weather without fnow, fuits them

 if there fhould be any part of it fit for the 

 plough, the beft method is to fence it ofi^ with
