Excerpt from Chemistry Applied to Agriculture It is certainly not a little surprising, that while so many of the useful arts have been vastly improved, and some seemingly almost perfected, by the applica tions of physical science, agriculture, though immeas urably the most important of all, should still be in a state of comparative rudeness; and its operations but too generally conducted with scarcely the smallest reference to the natural laws. One might, indeed, from seeing this, be almost led to suppose, that its successful prosecution was considered as being, in no considerable degree, dependant upon the observance of these laws; whereas, in fact, there is not a single phenomenon in vegetation that is not produced by them, and the operations of the agriculturist have no other effect than either to develop, or to modify their action. It will appear therefore abundantly evident, that, in order to perfect his art, the farmer must con form his practice to those unchanging principles.
