 culture, Arts and Manufactures, instituted in the State of New-

 the State of New-York, 



BY SAMUEL L. MITCHELL, 



the Commissioner appointed to make a tour through the State of 

 New- York, in the vicinity of Hudson's River. 



It is deemed proper, in this connection, to record such an 

 exploration of a part of the State at so early a day, as an inte- 

 resting fact in the history of science. The volume which contains 

 the report may be found in the New- York State Library.
