(Ibid., ) 206. The implements of husbandry, inthis period, were of the same kind withthose that are employed at present,though all of them, no doubt, much lessperfect in their construction. One sortof plough, for example, had but onestilt or handle, which the ploughman guided with one hand, having in his other hand aninstrument which served both for cleaning and mending his plough, and breaking the clods.{fig. 23.) This implement was pro-bably intended for breaking up strong ; for such a purpose the wheelswould contribute much to its steadiness,which would render two handles unne-cessary, and thus leave the holder withone hand at liberty to use his axe-likeinstrument in clearing away roots andclods, or otherwise aiding the operationof the plough. Another plough ()seems to have been without wheels, and was propably intended for light soil. (SeeStrutts Complete View of the Manners, fyc. of England, vol, ii. p. J 2.) The Noruiao. D 3.
