MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, 
a {carcity of grain which prevailed through- 
out Great-Britain in the year 1795, not only 
created great diftrefs, by more than doubling the 
ufual price, but threatened a fucceeding famine. 
Circumftances fo alarming, induced your laudable 
Society, among many others, ferioufly to enquire 
into, and fuggeft every poflible means of internal 
refources, to alleviate the exifting calamity, and to 
point out, if poflible, the certain grounds of pre- 
venting the like in future. Butchers’ meat being at 
the fame time greatly increafed in its price, was an- 
other objec of inveftigation, not only by your So- 
ciety, but by the Board of Agriculture in London; 
and by every other promoter of agriculture, and 
well-wifher to the profperity of this kingdom.
