LINCOLNSHIRE. 
Thovgh manufactures 
particularly in Lincolnfhire, its inhabitants 
have reafon to boaft of its large produce of 
eern and hay. wool and hides, mutton and 
beef; and at a period when the difficulty of 
procuring a fufficiency of wholefome and 
nourifhing food prefles on the lower ranks of 
fociety with unparalleled feverity, they have 
further reafon to congratulate themfelyes 
that, in no part of the ifland, probably is 
this difficulty lefs felt than in the fenny di- 
yifion of this great county. ;

In its ftate there are, indeed, many, 
things fatisfaétory. An agricultural furvey 
of the whole county has been recently made 
and publifhed; and this cannot but have fi- 
mulated inquiry, and have invigorated emu- 
lation. Near Friefton-fhore, fome hundred 
acres of falt-marfhes, hitherto overflowed by 
the fpring-tides, are now embanking; and,’ 
inftead of being overfpread with waves, they 
will, inva fhort time; be covered with rick 
crops of undulating corn. In draining the 
fens, attention has hither been paid only te 
local interefts ; and one error has often been ~ 
corrected by the fubftitution of another; but 
there are got wanting reafons for encouraging 
the hope, «that a more enlightened fytem of 
conduct will be purfued ; though it muft, in- 
deed, be acknowledged, that, with refpect 
to the Eaft Fen, its proprietor, having confi- 
derable parliamentary intereft, feems deter- 
mined to oppofe its being drained at the pro- 
per place, which is Maud Fofter. 
Meafures will, itis expected, be adopted 
for enclofing not only the eaft, but the weft, 
and the Wildmore, fens, with thofe adjacent _ 
to the river Welland, a {pace of land of fur-— 
pafiing fertility, and calculated to equal about, 
one-thoufandth part of the whole number of _ 
acres cultivated in England. he rafh plan 
of converting the ancient tide-courfe cf the 
Welland into a canal, and of draining the 
fen-country by a courfe more circuitous than’ _ 
the prefent, which has had many encouragers, - 
will, it is now thought, be abandoned. 
Forty years Efince, the navigation of — 
Bofton had nearly difappeared; and both 
drainage and agriculture were in a ftate of de- 
gration and debility. Now it is otherwife. 
The Witham, from the hon- execution of de- 
trimental fehemes, from the canals which 
have been dug, from the repair of its ditches, 
its drains, and its banks, and from the fcour-"" — 
ing influence of the frefhes, and of thetides~ _ 
of ebb and flood, has, within a few years, 
been materially impreved; and, in confe- 
quence, the port of Bofton has been deepened, * 
which, from its central pofition,. from its” 
fecurity againft the attack “of an enemy from. 
its fituation in a fertile and thriving country, 
and from its comparative proximity to the 
Northern Countries of Europe, is ef no fmall ~ 
confequence to the profperity of all the eattern ~ 
coaft of theiflandon the fouth of the Humber. 
New fources of amelioration. will be 
called.into exiftence. In confequence of the 
drainage of the fens, many additional -ftreams 
will be formed; much water, which before 
ftagnated to the injury of the animal and ve-~ ° 
getable world, aad was literally funk in the 
earth, or fcattered-in the air by the folar 
power of evaporation, will be made to minifter 
to the wants of man; and it is probable, that, | 
in confequence of the advance of knowledge, / 
and of the direétion which will be given to 
the newly created ftreams, they will acknow- ~ 
ledge the fovereignty of the Witham, and
