tee of the nte and Assemblv, to whom
w referred ihe consideration of such
incisures us in thcirc-ptnicn wi.il best com-
port with the enlightened views -if the
Legislature, to cherish tike great -cience
of Agriculture, and foster Domestic Ma
nufactories in connection therewith, re
quest leave respectfully to Report
That your committee have considered
the imporlant.objects committed to them.
To fulfil these novel but highly interest
ing duties, their first impression was to
ascertain the existing state of agriculture
in this State, compared to that of lUiTcr
ent nations cf Europe, e?Tx"uHy Ki'glii.d
and Holland, the countries irom which
or.i ancestors emigrated from the
year
IciOS to 1640. Since the termination
the revolutionary war, the eastern hive
has converted our extended forests - inio
fruitful field s ; and added a vast wehr
to our population of hardy and tidighu:.
ed veouianry. '
The increase h.s been so vapi.
we only bciu to re ihze a condensed J::
statiurary population.
He; it. has been imposibl? hereto- j
fo. e, t ; adopt any gener al Cf t
suivs, calculated to e.i!:hr:n,
ttc views of our farmers, v. !;
in' i
xra.id not !
a n; ;e profitable husoaudry. ;
Although t!i:s investigation is lull of
usefui insiructii n, :tnd pvej-rtnt ir. result. ;
of vital imnortance to .-the -restii', ar.u
future generations ; & opi r. 't wide field

cultural science and p.i triotiym ; v.ml 'd
though we are persuaded there is u c;.;:. -try
on earth whose inhabitants are 'u :t. -iufcrmcd
better fed -and who h.. -
higher sense of self respect, and all th
manly sentiments whicH dignify hu!4
nature Yet it is p tinful to add, we c
at this moment in a state V.f absf-lute ;g,
fiorance in the first principle?, of the fira.t
of sciencts, as connected w ith chemistry.
We are also totally unacquainted with
the; fundamental gv unds of th se great
modern improvements in agricuiture,as i t
is now practised in England, and other
countries cf Eurrpe. ;
Taking the year 1640ns an eporji whicn
terminated the emigration from England
and Holland, which forms the main basis
of our populaiioi:, we may reasonably
conclude those emigrants brought--wiih
them the knowledge cf agriculture as it
exiud in those countries at that peril d.
Their descendants," in the success;, e
generations, have tenaciously foli v-d
the foctbteps of their predecessors, with
out daring to indulge in new experim' r ts,
or weighing Well the possibility of 1 more
prcductive husbandry. But how could a
rcmedv be apjxlied, having no central
point of comniunic;.tion u; lamp to guide
their steps -nor measure to stimulate ef
forts, or excite competition?
It mjuiripg the Ijngest life of man to
acnuire used experience in. agriculture,
how much valuable inf rmr-tion ha ot-en
sv allowed up in the grave, for the want
of "such a point of com munic ft ricn, w hi c h
otherwise might. might iivr been pcrpc
tuated, the coimicn property of nrankird?
To guard hereafter ugainst sue it s;
waste cf experience, and to i-each ' the
important point in view ; yrur conindtie
deem it important to take a concise review
cf the history of agriculture in England,
from an early period, to tla epoch of
1640, and its progress from that year to
the present time.
When Julius Cxsar invaded England,
he found that people in a state of barba
rism. The Romans were then the only
ofaericulture as an art, this thev intro- I
duccd partially into England. The yeo
manry of that country remained t a sta
tionaiy point, for about eleven centuries.
Then th: Normans introduced sc me Ld
ditions to the art, also many valuable far
ruing utensils.
It was not cultivated in any manner as
a science, tilL about fifty years previous to
an - emigration of twenty1-one thousand
Deonlc "ti New-England, from which
stock upwards of two millions of people ;
now exist ; and in one century more this j
number will probably be swelled to the. I
astonishing magnitude of upwards, cf 1
twenty nuHicns.
From 1640 to the present time (178
years) England has continued to advance
with rapid strides, in the science of agri-
. cultuit : -In particular, in the last fifty
years, owiug to the ardent efforts .cf phi
lv -sopfiers, aaid patriots ; especially to the
'enlightened, genius of Sir John Sinclair,
thrrugh whose instrumentality, a national
Lorti d of agriculture was established.
A; ve have remained nearly stationa
ry in the same period ; all their acquisi
tions are in consequence beyond our
hljow -ledge. V
To redeem therefore, this greatwastc
cf time and kaowh-..!ie, presents to this
legislature a -iur opportunity to distin
guiih tliii i jisu ia the page of our hiatu-
AC. 'i 'CULTURE.

so much thereox as may be tound by
state society expedient to withdraw from
fe agricult tr.il fund lying in the state
treasury. To 1 .iisc t'iat varu, with conve
nience to the coii.!r.'. dty, with perfect
ease.and no additjionai expense cf officers,
nd in a view of the correction of public
morals, it is proposed to lay an addition
' f one half, to the existing tax on tavern
licenses, and retailers of ardent spirits.
This tax will be peGuliarly appropriate,
inasmuch as the monies will return into
circulation where it is collected ; tending
in some measure to tax intemperance, to
support the best interests of -the commu
nity. - ::.
Again, since it is ofthe utmost impor
tance, that an Agricultural Society. should
be promptly established in every county
in this state, no county will contribute long
to the fund without participating in its
iruits, and applauding the measure.
The committee 'coriiidering the sum of
thirty thousand dollars adequate to give
fail effect to ail the measures in contem
