ESSAYS. 



The Committee on Essays respectfully report that 

 having attended to their duty, they have awarded the 

 first premium of $15,00 to the author of the Essay on 

 " The Soil of New England," bearing the motto " The 

 Earth is not yet finished ;" and the second premium of 

 $10,00 to the author of the Essay on " The Education 

 of the Ox," bearing the motto 



" Their strength, or speed, or vigilance were given 

 To aid of our defects." . 



They would also suggest that as there is to be no 

 address before the Society, the Essay which receives 

 the first premium be read as a substitute for the usual 

 address. They make this suggestion believing that 

 the thoughts contained in that Essay are important, 

 and timely, and worthy of such distinction. 

 In behalf of the Committee, 



KENDALL BROOKS, Chairman.
