labours of manual husbandry. On the farms of Mr. Coke, of Holkham, an improvement on temporary fencing has been projected in the application of moveable

gates and posts, with hurdles, for partially eating off turnips or depasturing grass lands.

Regaining land from the sea, a most laudable and
praiseworthy practice, has been acted upon with
great success in this county. At Titchwell three
hundred acres were embanked in 1786, and Count
Bentinck, in Marshland, recovered a vast tract of
land; but in the prosecution of his plan lost his life,
The count's embankments extend four miles. The
active exertions of the spirit of well-regulated en-
terprise and agricultural industry is eminently ex-
plified in the multitude of inclosures in the county,
of which we may form an estimate from the follow-
ing accurate list, drawn up from actual researches,
by Arthur Young, Esq. secretary to the Board of
Agriculture.

There is not a county in England so distinguished for the native industry of its inhabitants, nor is there one superior for the beauty and neatness of the farms. The Norfolk farmer exhibits, both in himself and his farm, characteristic traits of excellence : industrious, economical, yet hospitable, habitually neat in his person, and presenting in his farm every thing that can evince the most sedulous attention and comprehensive judgment with respect to its agriculture.

To close: whether we survey this county with respect to its climate, its population, its trade and commerce, the character of its inhabitants, the diversified beauties of prospect which embellish it, or especially with respect to the improved state of agriculture, it may with propriety be denominated " the Glory of England.”
