To which is added, the new, but very useful method of burning of clay, for the improvement of land; which may very well be placed amougst the greatest, cheapest, and most useful improvements in husbandry, that this, or any other age has produced. As also, an appendix, wherein is contained a further and full account of the La Lucerne, its perfections, imperfections, &c. and how it may be sown so as to answer its character, and promote its well growing in this soil.
