•• • It is impossible fur us to peruse this Gent ral Report with-
out experiencing a high degter of satisfaction, in which we think
every candid reader will participate.
Amongst the meritorious individuals who have lab -tired to
promote the internal improvement of Scotland, a conspicuous
place is unquestionably due to the compiler of the wark before us.
The vast accumulation of matters of detail on which his industry
has been employed, is s fund from which the statesman and politi-
cal economist, as well as the humblest cultivator, may draw much
useful information.

The" Geueral Report" le founded on the statietical account
and the county surveys, and is meant to exhibit in a para.
Lively small compass, all that b. of general utility in these volumi-
nous works, in regard to the" Agricultural state and political cir-
cumstance," of Scotland.

Agriculture is not the only subject treated of in this work : it
comains,among other matters, seine account of the mauulact UM*
commerce, and fisheries of the country.
