‘Memorandum to Mr And. Henderson, for a survey of the estate of Inverawe, belonging to General Campbell of Monzie.’ That paper is very important to the present question. It is of the following tenor:
‘The object of the present survey is to ascertain the price which the proprietor may reasonably expect for the estate if brought to sale. For this purpose, the rental of the estate is referred to, and the surveyor is requested to make his report upon each farm. He will notice the general nature of the pasture and of the arable ground, and their capacities of improvement, so far as this may fairly be considered as affecting the price to be expected from a purchaser.
