1 PREFACE.

tain the utility and reputation of the MISCELLANY, by Lef-' 2zers, Hints and Ls5ays which must b€ always read with pleasure and advantage.

While we return our thanks for the past favours of our Readers and Correspondents, we have to intreat a renewaal and continuance of them for the opening Year. It will be remembered by Farmers and Landholders of true public Spirit, that in a time of Mar, there is always peculiar difi“ culty to obtain casual Support to undertakings which belong properly to the peaceful and domestice arts. Those who take a direct, express, and immediate interest 77 Such underta- kings are, therefore, at a time like this, to be more particu- larly looked to for their encouragement and Support. Ve hope, then, to be pardoned, if we call upon our Friends, zwhether as Correspondents 07 Readers, not only to continue zo us their own wonted attentions, but actively to recoimend to the favour of all others with whom they have infüle a Publication which they themselves disdain not to patrönize. j
