Virgilian husbandry, a term made use of by some authors to express that sort of husbandry, the

orecepts of which are so beautifully delivered in Jirgi’s Georgics. Formerly the husbandry in this country was Virgilian, as is shewn by the method of paring and burning the surface, of raf- tering or cross ploughing, and of the care in destroy- ing weeds, upon the same principle, and by much the same means. In those parts along the south- ern coast, where the Romans principally inha- bited, not only the practice, but the expressions, are in many respect the same with those of the ancient Romans; many of the terms used by the ploughmen being of Latin origin; and the same with those used by those people on the like occa- sions. Tull, who has established a new method of husbandry, observes, that it is upon the whole so contradictory to this old plan, that it may be called the antivirgilian husbandry, and that no practice can be worse than the Virgilian, 47. 112.
