State of New- York. 



In Senate^ March 3d, 1809. 



WHEREAS the Honourable Robert R. Livingston 

 has laid before the Society for the Promotion of Useful 

 Arts, a manuscript Treatise on Sheep, which the Society- 

 judge eminently calculated to diffuse general information 

 as to the best mode of raising and managing the Merino 

 breed of Sheep, from his own experience, and from the 

 best treatises on that subject; and whereas, in the opinion 

 of the said Society, the agricultural interest of this State 

 would be greatly promoted by the printing and circulating 

 the said manuscript — 



Therefore Resolved^ (if the Honourable the Assembly 

 concur herein) That one thousand copies of the said manu- 

 script be printed in such manner as the said Society shall 

 direct, and that they be distributed in the same manner as 

 the Laws and Journals are by law directed to be distri- 

 buted, and that each member of the said Society shall also 

 be entitled to one copy; and that the remaining copies shall 

 be at the disposal of the said Society; and that the Legis- 

 lature will by law make provision for the printing of the 

 said manuscript. 



By order of the Senate. 



S. VISSCHER, Clerk. 



In Assembly, March 7th, 1809. 



Resolved, That this House do concur with the Honour- 

 able the Senate in their preceding resolution. 



By order of the Assembly, 



D. RODMAN, Clerk.
