SALES OF PROPERTY.

The value of landed, like that of any other species of
property, must always be regulated by the demand there
is for it; but it is obvious, that to give that demand its
full scope, it is quite necessary that the profits to be de.
rived from it should be as extensively known as possi.
ble. Now it is not sufficient for this purpose, that the
monied man know what this or that estate in his
neighbourhood last brought when in the market ; he
ought to be acquainted with the prices generally re-
ceived for such descriptions of property in all other
parts of the country. Neither is it enough that the man
who has money to invest should have this general ac-
quaintance with the value of real property; every person
who his an estate to sell, or which he may at some fu-
ture period have occasion to bring into the market,
ought to inform himself, by this means, what it is really

worth, that he may know what to ask for it, and not be
betrayed into the disposal of it on unfair terms. It is
only by the buyer and seller being thus equally well
informed about the matter of bargain between them,
that land, houses, &c. like other property, can, gene-
rally speaking, attain their real value in the market. It
must at once, however, occur to the Reader, that as yet
tie medians is *tutting through which such information
can be obtained; for though the fluctuations in the
prices of the Stocks and all-sorts of Public Securities are

daily gazetted in all the Newspapers, yet of the changing
value of real property, such as Freehold, Leasehold,
and Copyhold Estates, Advowsons, Manorial Rights,
Houses, Mills, &c. there is no periodical registry. That
registry we now mean to make an attempt to supply;
