Postscript to husbandry anatomiz'd or, an addition to the enquiry in to the present manner of ordering, dressing, and manuring the ground in Scotland for most part; whereby it is further explained and applyed, and several good effects that may follow thereupon hinted at. By the author of the first.

Courteous READER,

NOthing under the Sun is more the De∣sire of my Soul, than the Universal Good of all Men living, and for those of this Kingdom in particular, being fully perswaded of the Truth of that Maxime, No Man is born for himself; But the Sense of my own Weakness, has long ob∣structed my undertaking any thing in a Publick Manner, pursuant to my Inclina∣tions: But of late having maturely consi∣dered the many mistakes this Kingdom doth generally ly under, both in Relation to Husbandry, and several other Things, I have adventured to make an Enquiry into the Manner of Ordering and Dressing the Ground in Scotland, and has Essayed to give some Directions, for further Im∣provement thereof, and further to ex∣plain and apply what is said, I have now added these following Sheets. The Summ

of all that I have both first and last said, doth terminat in this, That if every one would take such Measures as easily they may, the Honour, Wealth and Power of the Kingdom, may in a short time be ad∣vanced to double of what it is at present; This may seem a very incredible Asserti∣on, but at prosent I shall no further insist in proving thereof. The Calcula∣tion being made already, & a brief Hint given of the Means and Ways how it may be Effected: But in the mean time, (I say) if it be True, it is worth the noticeing, and if it be false, it may easily be demonstrated to be so, Such as have any thing to object against what is said, or would have it farther explained, I shall endeavour to satisfie. So long as I abide in Town, I shall attend at the Flanders Coffee-house for that end, betwixt the hours of 10 and 12 in the Forenoon, and 5 and 6 at Night. I could gladly wish every Propriator and Possessor of Lands

in Scotland, had Copies of this Treatise, which you may have at the foresaid Coffee∣house, at a reasonable Price, but to give all of you Copies gratis, my Circumstance do not allow, neither know I any Obli∣gation on me so to do. But that I may go as great a length this way as possible, without manifest prejudice to my self, I shall leave two or three Copies of this Postscript, for Publick Use, at every Coffee house in Town; And in what you can further desire of me in Reason, your Commands shall be willingly obeyed.

Farewell.
