 an opportunity to make the experiment, and offer my af. 

 •sistance to procure for those, who wiih to do this, a few eggs, 

 I am aware, thai to persons who have had no experi- 

 ence in this businefs, especially if in a high station, where 

 the detail of the management will, in most cases, devolve 

 upon others, the experiment must often fail, from other 

 circum stances than the noxiousnefs of the food. The 

 report, therefore, of many an abortive attempt, in these 

 circumstances, may be expected. If a few, however, suc- 

 ceed, such positive evidences are worth a thousand nega- 

 tives in the circumstances here stated. I now wifli to ob- 

 .viate in time, an objection that I easily foresee may come 

 in the way.
