Excerpt from A Treatise on Agriculture, Comprising a Concise History of Its Origin and Progress: The Present After Gen. Armstrong had retired from public to private life, and turned his attention particularly to rural pursuits, he wrote the following treatise on agriculture for the Albany Argus, then conducted by the subscriber. To give it to the public in a less perishable shape than the columns of a newspaper, it was afterward published in book form. The object of General Armstrong was "to contribute his aid, " to use his language, "in giving to the study and practice of agriculture a new and increased impulse throughout the state, and he supposed this could be best done by exhibiting concisely the origin and progress of the art, its present condition abroad and at home, and, lastly, the theory and practice in relation to it which have arisen out of the present philosophical attainments in Europe." At a subsequent period, at our request, the general wrote two essays, one upon the kitchen, and the other upon the fruit garden, which were published in the second and third volumes of the Memoirs of the Board of Agriculture.
