Text: MISERIES OF THE COUNTRY / Passing the worst part of a rainy winter in a country so inveterately miry as to imprison you within your own premises, so that by way / of exercise, and to keep yourself alive, you take to rolling your gravel walks (thoug [sic] already quite smooth) cutting wood / (though you have more logs than enough) working the dumb bells, or such other irrational exercise..
