Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the New York Farmers; 1882 1910 The question of the form which such a history should take was carefully considered at the outset, and was not easy of solution. The story of its organization and its purpose, who were its founders, and who have been its members, throughout nearly one-third of a century of its busy, useful life could be readily told - yet that would not have been its history, but only a part of it and that the least important. Brief biographies of our mem bers could have been attempted, but the lives of these men, many of them eminent, have been lived in other spheres of usefulness and their membership here has been only an incident. An effort to epitomize their careers might easily be judged inadequate 'and, toward those living, have been deemed an intrusion upon the personal privacy which has always been cherished among us. These re ections lead us to the conclusion that the real history of the Farmers is the history of what they have done. By their works ye shall know them is the Biblical injunction. The discussions and debates, the addresses and papers, which have occupied nearly a hun dred evenings, and the volumes of Proceedings which have been widely disseminated, and which for many yearshave gone out all over this country, and to some extent to Europe, constitute that work.
