Agricultural Society. 



*40fr^ 



AN agricultural fociety has been inftituted within 

 this laft year, by fome public fpirited gentlemen; at 

 the head of this fociety was to have been the much la- 

 mented Marquis of Downfhire, a man, from his own, 

 difpofition inclined in every way to promote the public 

 good, and ever ready, both to plan and adopt any plan 

 likely to further that end. This fociety being {till in 

 its infancy, all that can as yet be faid of it is, that it 

 promifes well, and as its fupporters are warm, and its 

 objects judicious, little doubt can be had of its utility 

 and fuccefs.
