But the agriculture of the country has been little increased in extent of surface by this proceeding: for extensive tracts of land, formerly cultivated, have now, in consequence of the loss of these very woods, become more exposed and bleak, H H and have been rendered barren by this exposure. Thus, while the woodlands have been converted into cornfields, the cornfields have been converted into barren ground; as is evident from the marks of the plough yet to be seen on many extensive plains, now covered with heath and furze, and not yielding a shilling a year per acre. The repeated political changes in the constitution of our country, before as well as since the Conquest, have also tended in succession, though from di...
