Inhalt:

Arthur Young was born in 1741, the son of a clergyman, at Bradfield, in Suffolk.He was apprenticed to a merchant at Lynn, but his activity of mind caused him to be busy over many questions of the day.He wrote when he was seventeen a pamphlet on American politics, for which a publisher paid him with ten pounds' worth of books.He started a periodical, which ran to six numbers. He wrote novels.When he was twenty-eight years old his father died, and, being free to take his own course in life, he would have entered the army if his mother had not opposed. He settled down, therefore, to farming, and applied to farming all his zealous energy for reform, and all the labours of his busy pen.In 1768, a year before his father's death, he had published "A Six Weeks' Tour through the Southern Counties of England and Wales," which found many readers.
