I flatter myfelf in the foregoing fheets to have 

 given fome ufeful inftrudlions for that purpofe. 

 I cannot avoid reverting to the quantity of un- 

 cultivated ground, and efpecially where ground 

 is fo valuable, in the vicinity of the metropolis 

 of this great empire ! London is nearly fur- 

 rounded at a very fhort diilance by commons ! 

 What a pity it is that thofe who have gained a 

 competency in bufinefs are not fuffered to pur- 

 chafe parts of thefe at prefent ufelefs trails. We 

 might then fee the city Ihopkeeper, perhaps a 

 man-milliner, become a ufeful member of foci- 

 ety J and, if not tilling his own field, at lead 

 giving employment to whole families, calcula- ] 

 ting what a landed eftate he (hall leave behind ' 

 him, keeping his faculties in adlion, enjoying 

 the pleafures of a rural life, and leaving others 

 to drudge in the fhop and accumulate money 

 in their turn. 



To improve agriculture is the means to cre- 

 ate plenty, which fo much adds to the happi- 

 nefs of man; as it makes him contented with 

 his condition, and with the conftitution and 

 laws of his country.
