Climate, Soil, and Agriculture] The climate'of so extensive a country as France may be expected to be va rions. In general, it is far more clear and serene than that of England; but the northern provinces are exposed to heavy rains, which, however, produce beautiful ver dure and rich pasture. Mr. Young, the celebrated agri culturist, in his account of France, divides it into three climates; the northern, the central, and the southern. The first yields no wines; the second no maize; the third produces wines, maize, and olives. These divisions pro coed in an oblique manner, from the south-west to the north-east, so as to demonstrate that the eastern part of France is two and a half degrees of latitude hotter than the western; and consequently more favourable to vegeta tion. The central division, Mr. Young considers as one of the finest spots in the world. The chief disadvantage of the third climate is the flies. One great benefit of the climate of France arises from its being adapted to the culture of the vine, which flourishes in spots that would otherwise be waste.
