Sinopsis

Excerpt from Introduction to the Study of the Scientific Principles of Agriculture: Being the Inaugural Lecture, Delivered May 6, 1884, at the University Museum, Oxford

The term Rural Economy, which gives the title to the Professorship to which I have been appointed, might be held to include such a variety of topics, that if I had no other guide in the selection of subjects to bring before you, I should be placed in a position of some difficulty. It would not be inappropriate to treat of the general management of landed property from the point of view of the Land-owner or the Land-agent of the practical details of farming, mechanical, economical, and commercial, such as are essential to be observed by the tenant or occupier, if his business is to be a profitable one or, lastly, attention might be confined to the elucidation of the scientific principles involved in successful practice, so far as the existing knowledge of the day permitted.
