 fort, there are two points, which render 

 the general bufmefs more complicated, than 

 the fame work in thofe countries that 

 admit being laid to natural grafTes ; the 

 iirft is the accidental failure of the fain- 

 foine feeds, by which the improver is 

 obliged to keep the land longer in his 

 hands, that he may have time to fow again : 

 when the Gondu6l is good, and the feed
