Boport on the Exldhition of Implements 
aid the Council in selecting the objects or classes which more par- 
ticularly demand future encouragement by the Society. With 
this view, the number of prizes allotted to each class and object is 
also tabulated. 
As a digest of the nature, number, and value of the implements 
in habitual use by farmers, it cannot fail to impress the mind with 
the importance of agricultural mechanism as a branch of national 
industry, and as consuming an immense amount of native materials. 
Nor will it, perhaps, be uninteresting to the agriculturist and his 
mechanic to learn that not a few highly skilled Lancasliire manu- 
facturers and mechanicians, attracted by proximity to the meeting, 
expressed unqualified admiration of the workmanship and con- 
structive skill displayed, with no slight surprise that so many 
varied and necessary tools were used in the culture of the soil and 
preparation of animal and human food. 
The award of premiums has been arranged on this occasion 
with a reference to the page of the published catalogue, the 
number of the exhibitor's stand, and that of the article rewarded. 
A reference to the article forming the subject of a prize has been 
deemed advisable, in order to define it ; as, in many instances, an 
exhibitor produced a large variety of implements of the same 
class, having an apparently similar but really a distinctive cha- 
racter and application, each being adapted to some specific ope- 
ration in the art of agriculture.
