Does Mr. Brooke apprehend that the coun- 
ties of Norfolk and Suffolk, Nottingham Fo- 
rest, and many other tra6ts of barren land, 
have been mailed, cultivated, and im- 
proved by occupiers of small tra6ts of it, who 
were neither possessed of capital nor any 
ability to embark in concerns of great present 
expence, with a view to call toi th, from the 
bowels of the earth, its hidden treasures ? 
Has Mr. Brooke refle6fed, that in order 
to divide large farms into small ones, with 
any possibility of advantage, each farm must 
possess a dwelling-house, barn, stable, and 
other out-door conveniences ; that the mag- 
nitude of such buildings does not necessarily 
increase progressively with the quantity of 
land allotted to them ; that is to say, it re- 
quires but little more expence to build pro- 
perly upon a farm of 150\. per annum than 
on one of 70l ; that, to reap benefit from 
such farms, they must be subdivided into at 
least as many different fields or parcels as 
there shall be different sliifts or different crops 
cultivated in a regular routine of cropping ; 
/. e, in most eases either four, five, or six closes ?
