Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Rockingham Agricultural Society I have adverted to the peculiar character of agri culture, as connected with the civilization and im provement of society, not because it admits of doubt, or requires proof or illustration; but because the ex ertions, necessary for the advancement and perfection of this parent-art, can be expected to spring only from a deep and thorough conviction of its pre-eminent im portance, as the abundant source both of national wealth and individual happiness. Nor is this convic tion less necessary to the farmer himself, than to other classes of the community since he who does not think highly of his own caning or profession, whatever it may be, will make no uncommon exertions for its im provement, nor feel any very lively interest in its gen eral welfare and success. In this point of view, the institution of Agricultural Societies, and the public meetings and exhibitions to which they lead, are of essential service to agriculture, as they tend to raise the character and improve the condition of the farmer; and by securing to his pursuit its just rank and in u ence in society, do much towards preserving him from the ignorance, the poverty, and consequent servitude, into which, in other countries, the cultivators of the soil have too often fallen.
