When I resolved to retire to my little planta tion of about 60 acres, it was natural to cast about, amongst agricultural authorities? for advice and instruction. As remarked above I found many to advise me in the product? of grain, stock, 6ce. but Vireil alone how to eat and drink. Besides regarding his Georgics as a standard of agricultural science to this day, I was led to consider his Eclogue! as recom mending agricultural life, from the superior capacity for enjoyment it gave to its votaries, above all other employments ; and, at the same time, as recommending it to husbandmen, -to a void the luxuries of the day and live upon the produce of their farms. The beauties of the poet are, in my opinion, surpassed by the wis dom of the philosopher..
