Excerpt from First Principles of Agriculture In the preparation of this elementary work upon the Principles of Agriculture, the author has been desirous of avoiding, as far as possible, the use of technical terms, in cases where other terms in general use would convey the same idea. When it has been necessary to employ such terms, they have been explained in the simplest possible manner, so as to render the book intelligible to all classes of readers. Although the work is strictly elementary, the author has considered it desirable to draw attention to certain points in practice and in theory, which seem to be insufficiently recognized by many of our practical and scientific agriculturists. Preface To The Second Edition. The rapid sale of a large edition, and the favourable opinions which have been expressed of its utility, encourage the hope that the "First Principles of Agriculture" has not only been found useful for pupils under instruction in the elementary stage of Agricultural Science, but of value to those who desire to inform themselves on the subject. The alterations which have been made in the Second Edition will probably increase its utility. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
