TOUR OF ENGLAND, 
(CONTINUED). ° 
Journal of a Tour through almoft every county 
in England, and part of Wales, by Mr.Joun 
HovusEMAn, of Corby, near Carlifle ; who 
was engaged to make the Tour by a gentle- 
man of diftin€tion, for the purpofe of col- 
le&ting authentic information, relative te 
the ftate of the poor. This Journal com- 
prifes dn account of the general appearance 
of the country, uf the foil, furface, build- 
ings, &c. with obfervations agricultural, 
commercial, &c. 
APRIL 19, went from BRADRORD 
to HaLirax, in Yorkthire, eight 
‘miles. The road not good, but a flac 
ged path on one fide accommodates foot 
travellers. The country naked, the 
foil rather light, but not fertile. Stone 
walls divide the fields; the furface high 
and hilly, and feveral traéts of black 
looking common appear near Halifax.— 
I obferved furze or whins growing plea- 
tifully in feveral places, which cireum- 
ftance marks a negleéied 
The population in this country, notwith- 
ftanding the poornefs of the foil, is in- 
calculable; houfes and cottages ttand 
every where in great numbers, as far as 
the eye can reach. ‘The woollen manu- 
faGture, for which this ditrict is fo 
noted, affords labour and bread to innu- 
Seaee families, who quit their own 
counties, in the hopes of finding better 
wages here. Whether that is really the 
Gale I donot know; but if one. may 
judge from their behaviour and appear- 
ance, poverty. ftil! prevails a good deal 
among them. Every willege I pafied, 
exhibited ftrong marks of abject mifery. 
The children, in rags and dirt, rus in 
troops after a teaveller, begging half- 
pence, as long asthey can keep up. with 
him.
