was 398,653. The soil is very different in the ex-
treme parts from that in the middle, whence it has
been compared to a coarse cloth with a fine bor-

rich soil, extremely fruitful in corn, and grass,
particularly on the N. and W. towards the
Thames; but it is far otherwise in the heart ofthe
county,where are wide tracts of sandy ground and
barren heath, and in some places long ridges of
hills. It produces corn, boxwood, walnuts, hops,
and fullers’-earth. Medicinal herbs are raised to
a considerable extent, and about 3,500 acres of
land consist of gardens for the supply ofthe Lon-
don market. The principal rivers, besides the
Thames (which is the boundary of this country
