PREFACE, 



BY 



MR. KENT. 



JtiLAVING come forward a Volunteer, upon 

 the establishment of the Board of Agriculture, 

 and collected and arranged the best informa,- 

 tion in my power, touching the Husbandry of 

 this County, without any provincial bias, it 

 was freely offered to the Board to be disposed 

 of as it should think most likely to produce 

 any advantage to the Public. The Board 

 very judiciously circulated it in all parts of 

 the County, desiring all Persons, who might 

 be inclined to take the subject under considera- 

 tion, to make their free Remarks upon it, 

 and to return it yvith any Additions Ihey 

 might have to offer. In consequence of Iris, 

 many sensible and pertinent Observations have 

 been made, which the Board has since put in- 

 to my hands, requesting ?ne to re-print my 

 own Report, and to interweave these Obser- 

 ved ions
