Excerpt from Arator: Being a Series of Agricultural Essays, Practical and Political; In Sixty-One Numbers The Publisher of the following essays is the first who has offered to the public patronage, an experimental composition, adapted to the 8011, Cli mate and Agriculture of the greater portion of the United States; and so far as his knowledge extends, it is the first of the kind which this great district of country has produced. He is not qualified to judge of its merit, and can only infer from its being the. Work of a successful practical farmer, and not the oii'spring of interest or theory, that every purchaser will be reimbursed his money many fold. But how ever this may be, the Publisher respectfully states, that rude inventions have terminated in great pub lic good and that the deficiency of graphical merit in the agricultural country, for which the composi tion was intended, is almost as strong a recommen dation of this effort towards improvement, as the hierogliphicks of antiquity, were of those made for the discovery of letters. An encouragement of small improvements is the parent of perfection in every art and science, and as agriculture is the queen of the whole circle, the Publisher has thought it his duty to give the public an opportunity of awakening better talents and greater exertions, for occupying the extensive space between its present and a desi rable condition.
