If from the exports of grain from England and from Scotland, de ne DS ESS Se Ce&, Sr ES. à during that time*, we may judge of he comparative quantitiés

improper rule, we fhall find that England produces 15 times as

much corn as Scotland; that, in general, the crops of England confift of#- of wheat, and:2 of inferior gran; and that

the crop of Scotland has only-' of wheat, An grainf. In England the prevaihng crop appears to be wheat

and barlev: and in Scotland barlev and oats. Je J

During the above profperous period, the average exporta-

* Vide Appendix, No 3. + From the Reports of the rents or revenue of the bifhopricks and religious houfes in

Scotland, fo far as they were payable in grain, made up after the Reformation in the

year 1562, which have been very carefully colleéted by Maitland, in his Hiftory of Scotland, it appears, that the quantity of grain amounted to 5078 bolls of wheat, and 64,655 bolls of inferior ge

Thefe proportions would point out the crop of

Scotland to confift of about 5; of wheat, and+ of inferior grain. Butifit be con-

fidered that the rents of FA clergy were, in general, of the better kind of grain, and that the exportation from Scotland was chiefly of the inferior grain; if we take the medium of the proportions of the grain paid to the clergy, and of that exported, we may With great probability conclude that, in general, the crop of fuch land con-

fifts of H- of wheat, and+ of inferior grain.

But again, taking the quality of the crop of both kingdoms under review, and com- puting the quarter of wheat at 40s. and that of the inferior grain, over-head at 205.
