gers, particularly of his own fociety. His

added to the number of his legatees. Nu- 
merous as were his legacies, his liberality

Were made partakers of his munificences

DEVONSHIRE, 
In the northern part of this county many 
hundreds of acres have ‘recently been turned 
into tillage, which werenever fo appropriated 
before. Provifions of all kinds, except fith, 
are prodigioufly dear; and the condition of 
the poor in many places is deplorable in the 
extreme. ‘The poor’s-rates in feveral parithes 
amount to £5s. in the pound. 
At Barnftaple and Bideford a great number 
of inflammatory and threatening letters have 
lately been difperfed, but though confiderable 
rewards were offered, no difcovery of the 
authors could be obtained. At the latter 
place the liberality of the inhabitants in raif» 
ing contributions for the diftreffed poor has 
been very great 5 and the affembly-houfe has 
been converted into a foup-houfe and granary 
for the poor. 
The ftate of agriculture in this county, 
generally fpeaking, is very bad, and the pre-~ 
judices of the farmers again{t improvements, 
the moft obvioufly ufeful, very ftrong.
