The average is four inches less than the 

 oak. The crop was no doubt materially 

 injured by the trees having been thinned at 

 very irregular distances. Unless otherwise 

 specified, the measurement was taken at six 

 feet from the ground. 



Estate, No. 30, Wood. 



This wood consists of three hundred acres, 

 and, till within a year or two, it included 

 many acres more ; it is therefore particularly 

 entitled to an accurate description. The 

 underwood consists of hazel, oak, maple, 

 white and black thorns, and a small portion 

 of ash : the oak underwood is bright, free 

 from moss, healthy, and making considerable 

 length of wood annually.
