Not one of the little, irregular morsels of land half swallowed by its broad-bottomed hedging, which one sees so frequently in an English landscape, could be found on this great holding.

The white thorn fences were new, trim, and straight, occupying as little space as possible.

The five amalgamated farms are light turnip soil, with the exception of about 200 acres, which are well drained.

The whole surface resembles that of a heavy ground swell of the sea; nearly all the fields declining gently in different directions.

The view from the rounded crest of the highest wave was exceedingly picturesque and beautiful, presenting a vista of plenty which Ceres of classic mythology never saw; for never, in ancient Greece, Italy, or Egypt, were the crops of vegetation so diversified and contrasting with each other as are interspersed over an English farm of the present day.
It is doubtful if 3,000 acres of land, lying in one solid block, could be found in England better adapted for testing and rewarding the most scientific and expensive processes of agriculture, than this great occupation of Mr.Jonas.
