Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address of Thomas Gold, Esq.: President of the Berkshire Agricultural Society, and Member of the Massachusetts Society for Promoting Agriculture, Delivered Before the Berkshire Association, for the Promotion of Agriculture and Manufactures, at Pittsfield, Oct, 2d, 1817 Gentlemen of the Berkshire Association for the promotion of Agriculture and Manufactures, and Fellow Citizens - The Society having required an annual exhibition of the fruits of their measures, that period has returned, and we are again assembled to discharge the important duties attached to the occasion. This meeting has recurred under far more auspicious circumstances than the last; for we behold an earnest of the promise, "that seed time and harvest shall not cease" - that the labor of the husbandman shall be blessed with the plenteousness of the fruits of the earth. The heart which was ready to faint, has been cheered by the dawn of better times. The animating hope, that the general suffering has reached its prescribed limits, is realized - let our gratitude to Heaven equal the greatness of these dispensations - let our joy be elevated to the gladdening scene. Nor have we less cause of gratitude, that the exertions of the Society have been prospered; that their labors to promote the general welfare have been so effectually succeeded. These arc considerations of delightful private satisfaction, and general congratulation. At no period since the establishment of the Society, have so many unfavorable occurrences in the peculiarity of the times and seasons, happened. At no period have efforts been made, in equal degree and extent, to sustain the hopes and expectations of our fellow-citizens in the advantages to be derived from the association.
