Agricultural Machine Proposal
In this view, and with these means my ambitionwish
would be under the auspices of the Honourable Board
to furnish his Majesty's dominions with the best instruments
of husbandry with the best machines contrivedwhatever they may be
or that can be contrived for the purposes of agriculture at a price of a & in point of quality the least equal, and in point of pricecost more considerably below what they could be obtained for by any other means.

equally cheap. Since the advantage of vicinity to the <add>place</add>
