Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farmers' Instructer, Vol. 1 of 2: Consisting of Essays, Practical Directions, and Hints for the Management of the Farm and the Garden; Originally Published in the Cultivator; Selected and Revised for the School District Library The importance of agriculture to all the substan tial interests of mankind is so fully recognised, that it may be deemed unnecessary to expatiate on the attention to which it is entitled, or to insist on the superior advantages which those nations must ever enjoy by whom it is the most skilfully practised. Some writers, indeed, without regarding the intimate connexion that subsists between every branch of human industry, have assigned to agriculture a su periority over every other art; but while claim ing for it, to the fullest extent, pre-eminence over every mechanical trade, in all those considerations which mostly influence the choice Of a profession, it would be, inconsistent with that liberal spirit which forms so distinguisheda feature in the char acter of the times, not to admit that it has no real title to precedence before the manufactures of the country the object of both IS to promote the gen eral weal, and it is unjust to ascribe any peculiar de g'ree of dignity to either. Custom, however, which Often arbitrarily decides 1n Opposition to reason, has decreed that individuals, even of elevated rank, may engage in the cultivation of the soil without de scending from their station; adistinction which has not alorie teérded to raise it in the public estimation.
