TO THE PRESENT EDITION. 



iSo work upon tlie subject of Agriculture has, perhaps, 

 ever been published in the United States, which has 

 sustained so great, and so well deserved reputation 

 as Dr. Deane's Georgical Dictionary. And its being 

 adapted to our own soil and climate, must give it a 

 decided advantage, in point of practical utility, to the 

 American Farmer, over foreign publications, which, 

 otherwise, might be of equal value. 



The Compiler of the present edition has made such 

 alterations, additions, and obliterations only, as were 

 suggested by important improvements in agriculture, 

 since the publication (in 1797) of the last edition of the 

 original work ; and hopes, as it now stands, it will be 

 thought worthy of a place in the library of the practical 

 as well as the scientific agriculturist. 



September, 1822.
