in park. The arable land was ill selected and disposed; and in- stead of lying compact, was scattered in pieces, a mile or two apart; some of it was in single parcels, surrounded with high pales, separating fine vallies, and concealing ground, of the most beautiful shape. The greatest part of the park, was covered with high ant-hills, moss, fern, or rushes, and abounded in bogs and swamps, which, in many places, it was dangerous to cross. There were about 3, 000 deer, in very bad health and condition, kept in it. In this state, it fell into His MajEsT v's hands. The improvements, which have since, and are now carrying on upon it, are of so conspicuous, and beneficial a tendeney, that it cannot fail of producing the best effects. It may be considered, indeed, as a practical school, from which the most rational, and praise-worthy lessons in agriculture, may be taken.

The park is now reduced to 1,800 acres. The detached pieces of arable, which intersected, and concealed, some of the finest parts of it, are laid down and thrown into it. The wet parts are rendered firm and sound, by the Essex mode of under-ground draining.* The rushes are weakened and destroyed, by draining and rolling; the moss, and small hillocks extirpated, by har- rowing; the large ant-hills cleared, by the scarifier; the fern weakened, by mowing; the irregular banks levelled; pits filled up; the vallies opened, and smoothed; the hills ornamented with new plantations; and the stiff lines of trees, the vestiges of former hedge-rows, judiciously broken; by which means, great beauty is produced in all parts; and it is apparent, that the park thus reduced, supports the same number of deer it did before; and that they are in much better health, and condition.—Such, without exaggeration, is the present state of the park.

* The average depth of the drains, is about 26 inches, six inches at top, and one at bottom; in some places wood is laid; but the greatest part be- ing a strong cohesive soil, is formed from the turf being inverted and ram- med down, and the loose soil thrown at top; which is, at a proper time, rolled over. Upwards of 150 miles of this kind of draining has been done in Windsor Great Park during the three last winters.
