CHAPTER V. 



I Should be guilty of an omiffion to the 

 inadvertent, did I not intimate in favour 

 of tall timbers ; that more will ftand 

 on an acre, and do lefs injury to grafs, 

 grain or underwood, according as the places 

 on which they grow happen to be ; than 

 large headed and low houghing trees do : 

 And that the fap employing it's felf more on 

 the body of the lofty, they will be con- 

 verted the lefs to firewood 3 that is to fay, 

 they will be the lefs in head ; which bears 

 no proportion in '^jaltie to the content in 

 body. 



But what the real difference and ine« 

 quality between them is, I believe, known 

 to very few : Wherefore as I think it will 

 prove no difagreeable digreffion, and as I 

 am haply provided to give a juft eftimate 

 therein ^ I fliall run the hazard of the ac- 

 ceptablenefs of it.
