[A] By an odd coincidence, I observe that Washington made one of his
first shipments of tobacco (after his marriage with Mrs. Custis) upon a

the novel, or the novel a name to the ship?
[B] _Practical Farmer_, by William Ellis. London, 1759.
[C] The eminent geologist, Robert Bakewell, who lived many years later,
wrote of the "Influence of the Soil on Wool," and for that reason,

[D] Third volume _Statistics_, p. 598.
[E] Dated December, 1796. Sparks's _Life and Letters_, Vol. XII. p. 328.
[F] A poetess whose merits, as it seems to me, are, as yet, only half
acknowledged.
[G] _Sense and Sensibility._
