frefli proof that no man can difpofe of 

 his money to greater profit than by im- 

 proving moors. 



Upon the whole, it appears that the 

 undertaking improvements of this nature 

 is a work that requires very large fums of 

 money: 1700/. I hold to be the lov^efl 

 that a man can fafely begin with 5 as lefs 

 than twenty acres annual improvement 

 will be very unprofitable in requiring an 

 equal team, and in many refpecls an 

 equal expence j from whence we may 

 determine that the profit which thofe reap 

 from moor improvements, who begin with 

 lefs fums of money, though perhaps with 

 larger quantities of land, being lefs than I 

 have proved in thefe calculations, are no 

 real arguments againfl their accuracy, fince 

 they blundered in the effentials of the un- 

 dertaking.
