out of which we will substract a third part, which is the most remote part of the Iland from the _Bridge_, where all, or the most part of Trade is, which by many deep and steep Gullies interposing, the passage is in a manner stop’d: besides, the Land there is not so rich and fit to bear Canes as the other; but may be very usefull for planting provisions of Corn, Yeams, Bonavista, Cassavie, Potatoes; and likewise of Fruites, as, Oranges, Limons, Lymes, Plantines, Bonanoes; as also, for breeding Hoggs, Sheep, Goats, Cattle, and Poultry, to furnish the rest of the Iland, that want those Commodities. For which reasons, we will substract a third part from 392. and that is 130. and so the 3̸9̸2̸(130⅔ 3̸3̸ 3 392 130 --- 262 remaining ⅔ is 262 square miles; the greatest part of which may be laid to Sugar-works, and some to be allowed and set out for small Plantations, which are not able to raise a Sugar-work or set up an Ingenio, by reason of the paucity of acres, being not above twenty, thirty, or forty acres in a Plantation; but these will be fit to bear Tobacco, Ginger, Cotten-wool, Maies, Yeames, and Potatoes; as also for breeding Hoggs. But most of these will in short time, be bought up by great men, and laid together, into Plantations of five, sixe, and seven hundred acres. And then we may make our computation thus, _viz._ A mile square will contain 640 acres of land, and here we see is 262 acres, being ⅔ of the Iland. So then, we multiply 262. by 640. and the product will amount unto 167680. Now we will put the case, that some of those men that have small Plantations, will not sell them, but keep them for provisions, which they may live plentifully upon; for those provisions they raise, will sell at good rates; for which use, we will set out thirty thousand acres. So then we substract 30000 acres from 167680, and there will remain 137680 acres, to be for Sugar-works; out of which, ⅖ may be planted with Canes, the other ⅗ for Wood, Pasture, and Provisions, which must support the Plantations, according to the scale of Collonell _Modiford_’s Plantation, as I 640 262 ------ 1280 3840 1280 ------ 167680 30000 ------ 137680 3̸2̸1̸3̸ 1̸3̸7̸6̸8̸0̸ (27536 5̸5̸5̸5̸5̸ (27536 ----- 55072
