Gideon B. Smith, Esq., formerly the editor of the American 

 Farmer, printed at Baltimore, has done much in aid of the 

 cause by his writings in that periodical, and also by a manual he 

 has published. 



Jonathan H. Cobb, Esq., of Dedham has also rendered very 

 important services to the cause by his valuable Manual on Silk, 

 the lectures he has given on the subject, and his successful prac- 

 tice in its manufacture. To these names I will add, that posterity 

 will be indebted also to the efforts of Dr. Franklin, of Aspinwall, 

 of Pinkney, and of the Rev. President Styles at an earlier period 

 of time. 



Other and very numerous writers there are, of the present 

 day, which we need not name. 



Much is due to the unwearied labors of the Hon. H. A. S. Dear- 

 born for his luminous writings. His important services in the 

 cause of the science of Horticulture, also of Silk, have given a pow- 

 erful impulse, which will be felt and acknowledged both by the 

 present and future generations.
