(41, It is a well-known•faa, and appears in evidence before
Parliament, that sheep have the quality of their fleeces mheli
finer on a wide range of pasture, than when pent up in richer
and more luxuriant pastures, Which, our -recent inclosures
and Improvements afford; and this may be assigned as a prin-
cipal cause for the decrease of line native wool in England.
