Shenley, in the county of Buckingham, 

 is an irregular tract lying between Dorset 

 and Tring, bounded on the north-east by 

 the seigniory of Aubert Gallion and the 

 River Chaudiere, and on the south-west by 

 vacant lands. The surface is irregular, in some 

 places low and swampy, but in others possessing 

 a moderately good soil, that would doubtless 

 be sufficiently fertile if brought under the 

 » plough. On the dry lands the timber consists - 



principally of beech, maple, and birch; on the 

 others there is scarcely any thing else but 

 cedar, and spruce fir. It is not very well watered. 

 One quarter of the township w^as granted to 

 the late James Glenny, but no part thereof is 

 cultivated. 



Dorset, in the county of Buckingham, is 

 situated on the westerly side of the River 

 Chaudiere, joining Shenley on the north, and 

 encompassed on the other sides by unsurveyed 

 lands. This is a large township, consisting 

 chiefly of fine rises of good land, very fit for 

 tillage, and almost every where favourable for 

 the culture of hemp and flax, though no set- 

 tlements have hitherto been made in it; the 

 most inferior part of it is along the rocky bank 

 of the River Chaudiere. It is well stocked 

 with basswood, birch, maple, beech, and elm
