New directions of experience authorized by the Kings most excellent Maiesty, as may appeare, for the planting of timber and fire-wood. With a neere estimation what millions of acres the kingdome doth containe; what acres is waste ground, whereon little profite for this purpose will arise. Which waste being deducted the remaine is twenty foure millions; forth of which millions, if two hundred and forty thousand acres bee planted and preserued according to the directions following, which is but the hundred part of the twenty foure millions, there may be as much timber raised, as will maintaine the kingdome for all vses for euer. And how as great store of fire-wood may be raised, forth of hedges, as may plentifully mainetaine the kingdome for all purposes, without losse of ground; so as within thirty yeares all spring-woods may bee conuerted to tillage and pasture.
