Since then, in the West or EncLanp, and in a survey of the SouTHERN CouNTIES, the advantages of a public institution have appeared in various points of view; and some of them are incidentally noticed, in the respective registers of the practices of these departments.

And, in revising the Minutes which arose from my own practice, in the SouTHERN Counties, other advantages presented them- selves, and are pointed out, in the new edition just published.

Having now finished the general survey of the kingdom; having practised in. dif- ferent parts of it; and having, at length, published the superior practices of profes- sional men, in’ each of its six agricultural departments, as well as my own practice, in four of them;—the time is arrived, when I can, with propriety, lay before the public my proposals, at large, and say, without injury or risk to my general undertaking, that I am ready to enter on the difficult task of

carrying the proposed plan into execution.
