ADDRESS
From the American Board of Agri^
culture, To the citizens of the United
States.
OF the vast variety of objects, to which
the energies of the human mind have been
direded in the extensive range of science,
there is none which merits so much, and
which receives to little encouragement from
the exertions of the leaned, as the (u jeut
of agriculture. Whether this is attributa
ble to the natural indolence of man, wnich
(brinks from the efforts necessary to extract
the ufeful and the meritorious frem the
mass of indigested materials which the
world presents ;or whether the pride of
learning difdaios to ft^p to the fcruiiny of
objects equally open and intelligible to the
informed and the ignorant ; the fad re
mains the fame, and the benefits which
would rcfult from the adoption or means to
