Practical Farmer
, q.v., no. 721.
Strickland wrote from York, England, on January 13, 1804: “In return for the pamphlet you were so obliging as to send, I transmit to you, (not knowing of anything at present more valuable
to communicate) the corrected Agricultural survey of part of this county drawn up under the direction of the Board of Agriculture.
It will serve as a specimen of the manner in which these surveys are drawn up, not more than a third part of which are yet
published & this is thought to be one of the best. The author is a practical Quaker farmer residing near this City with whom
I am well acquainted . . .”
