6 PREFACE. 



"Resolved, That this body, in the event of the publication of 

 the translation, earnestly recommend its circulation, as furnish- 

 ing the means of enlightenment to the most advanced farmers, 

 both in the knowledge of facts and of the principles of investigation 

 and experiment leading to the further increase of knowledge.' 7 



The resolution was adopted by a rising vote of the Convention, 

 " as a mark of respect for the fair translator." 



Mr. Fannin, of Troup, offered the following resolution, which 

 was adopted : 



" Resolved, That we, as representatives of the County Agri- 

 cultural Societies, will endeavor to promote the circulation of the 

 work of the distinguished agricultural writer and thinker, George 

 Ville, and will recommend to the societies to subscribe liberally, 

 and to take not less than six copies each ; that in addition to 

 this, the County Societies, instead of offering cups for premiums, 

 will offer a copy of this work or a year's subscription to some 

 good agricultural periodical." 



After this strong endorsement by one of the most numerous, 

 dignified and intelligent assemblages which has ever met in 

 Georgia, it is unnecessary for the writer to add further remark.
