[ xxiv ] 



reafonably hope, that the continued commu- 

 nications of our correfpondents, on various 

 important matters, will be found an accumu- 

 lation of fcience either immediately obvious, 

 or remotely tending to national good. And 

 if, in fome unavoidable inftances, an inequa- 

 lity of intrinfic knowledge fliould be difco- 

 vered, it is but the inequality of human en- 

 deavours, ever to be expected. 



Thofe Gentlemen, who, from their own 

 praftice and fagacity, are the beft qualified 

 to difcriminate between truth and error, will 

 ever be found the moft difpofed to candour. 

 And while every man defirous of improve- 

 ment iii rural purfuits will make trial of a 

 new procefs with caution; any new acqui- 

 fitions of agricultural fkill, which may take 

 their rife even from the fuggeftions of theory, 

 will be defervedly confidered as fo many tef- 

 timonials to the public benefit of eftablifh- 

 ments like this. 



Bath, May i, 1788.
