of husbandry greatly improved in their construction, and 

 a more skilful and judicious application of them to the 

 purposes of husbandry. 



• These improvements, by increasing our possessions, in- 

 crease also our gratifications and enjoyments, till what we 

 call luxuries will be deemed only conveniences and com- 

 forts. These improvements will be accompanied, also, by 

 others of a higher character. The means of education 

 will be more generally enjoyed ; our schools will be multi- 

 plied, be better endowed and better instructed. The 

 sources of knowledge, literary, moral and intellectual, will 

 be more accessible. Not only the physical and political 

 condition of man will be meliorated, but man himself will 

 be advanced iu the scale of moral and intellectual being. 

 What higher objects than these can ever be brought to 

 act on the motives and purposes of man ? Put forward, 

 then, gentlemen, in God's name, put forward ! Let nothing 

 discourage or dishearten you. Persevere through good 

 report and evil report, and you will find a most certain 

 and acceptable reward, in the increased prosperity and 

 happiness of your fellow man.
