The million of acres, stated to be incapable of cultivation, 
are here estimated as of no annual value. 
The three millions of acres, fit for plantations, may be com- 
puted to be Worth eight shillings per acre, or in total, 1,200,000/, 
per annum ; (annual produce and not rent). 
The fourteen millions of acres of upland pasture, when im- 
proved, may be calculated as worth five shillings per acre of rent, 
or 3,800,000/. per annum. 
The three millions of acres, convertible into arable land, would, 
when inclosed, average, at least, ten shillings per acre, oi- 
1,500,000/. per annum. 
The million of acres convertible into meadows, or water mea- 
dows, may be estimated at i/. 10s. per acre, or 1,500,000/. in total. 
The total annual produce would then amount to 20,700,000/. 
POOR OF ENGLAND. 
In one w^y or other about one ninth of the population of Eng- 
land, in 1812, received parish assistance. The returns of the 
amount of poor rate are to be made duennially to parliament. In 
J 803 the poor rates amounted to somewhat more than 5J millions 
sterling. I have not seen the return for 1813.

The following table has been formed, after much labour, ex-

may be accepted as approaching pretty nearly to truth, so far as 
facts can be discerned in the varied statements of the learned and 
scientific. And it may serve the ordhiary purposes of our re?
