The motive for writing and publishing a work like this, if it had wanted suggestion from any mind but my own, would have been found in the motto, which I have chosen upon this occasion, and which is taken from him, whose work has done more to promote good agriculture, than all the other works, of all countries, put together. Certainly it is worthy of observation, and, indeed, of censure, that so very few men of learning (I mean of that sort of learning which is exhibited in, or to be acquired from, books) have employed any portion of their time and talent in treating of the means of making an addition to the quantity of human food. Nay, some of them have actually prided themselves upon their ignorance of everything relating to agriculture, that first and greatest employment of man.
