Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farmer's Companion; Or, Essays on the Principles and Practice of American Husbandry: With the Address Prepared to Be Delivered Before the Agricultural and Horticultural Societies of New-Haven County, Connecticut; And an Appendix, Containing Tables, and Other Matter Useful to the Farmer Scarcely had the ink, with which this Volume was written, become dry, ere we were called upon to mourn the loss of its intelligent and highly-respected Author, who, while on a mission of good to his Agricultural brethren, was suddenly cut off, in the mid-day career of his usefulness, at Danbury, Conn., October 6, 1839, after an illness of a few days' continuance. The high estimation, in which he was held, is amply evinced by the expressions of regret for his loss, and of respect for his memory and worth, that have appeared in the public prints, throughout the Union. He had long been identified with one of the most important interests of our country, and, more recently, shone as an ardent advocate of another equally as important interest. After a careful examination of the various projects that have been devised for furnishing School Districts with suitable Libraries, he became fully convinced of the superiority of the Massachusetts plan, and, accordingly, repeatedly expressed, through the columns of the 'Cultivator,' his decided preference for 'The School Library' now publishing under the sanction of the Massachusetts Board of Education, and, as a still stronger evidence of his preference, he prepared, for the larger Series, the present Volume.
