The Council have selected Lewes as the place of the Country 

 Meeting of the Society for the year 1852 ; and they have at the 

 same time constituted a new district for the Country Meeting 

 four years in advance from the present time, agreeably with their 

 usual practice. The rotation of districts, therefore, now stands as 

 follows : — 



1852 — SouTH-E ASTERN DISTRICT, Comprising the counties of 



Kent, Surrey, and Sussex. 



1853 — South-Wales District, comprising the whole of South 



Wales, with the addition of the counties of Gloucester, 

 Hereford, Monmouth, and Worcester. 



1854 — East-Midland District, comprising the counties of 



Leicester, Lincoln, Nottingham, and Rutland. 



1855 — North-Western District, comprising the counties of 



Lancaster, Westmoreland, and Cumberland, and the 

 Isle of Man. 



The Council, in conclusion, have every reason to congratulate 

 the Members on the continued prosperity of the Society, and on 

 the undeviating manner in which it steadily pursues those prac- 

 tical objects connected with the improvement of land, the manage- 

 ment of crops, and the general advancement of good husbandry, 

 in which all its Members are more or less deeply interested. 



By order of the Council,
