According to this account, at the end of 

 the fixth year, the amount of the capital 

 is 161,700 /. a prodigious fum of money. 



It may perhaps be remarked, that this 

 account is too much accelerated, as more 

 time fhould be allowed for the improve- 

 ments : but to this I anfwer, that I am 

 here fl^etching for curiofity what may 

 eafily be done, and what is executed in 

 fmall concerns, viz. inclofe, pare and burn, 

 lime, andf ow turnips all in the firft year. 

 Indeed this is no more than the proper 

 expedition which ought always to be 

 pradifed. And it is a peculiar advantage 

 in the improvement by paring and burning, 

 that it throws you at once into poflefTion 

 of land in order for any thing. 



If my i^ata are juft, the edifice I eredt 

 upon ihem, I am confident, will fland ; 

 for, if 34 per cent, is acquired by a firft 

 improvement, any one, the leaf! convcrfant 

 in matters of this fort, mull be fenfible, that 

 the profit will increafe beyond the propor- 

 tion of the additions to flock, and that 

 notwithftanding ail thofe expences which 

 are peculiar to large, rallier than fmall 



(locks.
