Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Principles of Agricultural Practice

The chapters are indeed lectures, and each chapter opens with a reference to what had previously occupied attention. Omissions of certain principles made during the delivery of one lecture were often supplied upon the next occasion, whereas in the ordinary course of writing, an exhaustive treatment would have been preferred. It is my hope to follow up the present volume with another, and to open up, to the best of my ability, the proper lines upon which the principles of the whole art of Agriculture should be taught.

Excerpt from The Principles of Agricultural Practice

The province of the teacher is to communicate elementary as well as advanced knowledge. Whatever he may do in the form of original and elaborate research, to his pupils he must ever appear as a patient expounder of first principles. The following chapters actually embody a course of lectures delivered to science teachers last summer. The intention was to open up the subject of agriculture in such a manner as to indicate to them the many aspects from which it may be viewed. It has always been difficult to accurately define the position which agriculture occupies in relation to other branches of knowledge. Sometimes it has been called a science, and at other times an art. It has been viewed as a trade and as a profession, but it is neither one nor the other, and in order to be correct we must take refuge in such ambiguous expressions as occupation, pursuit, or calling. Agriculture is too dependent upon circumstances, and too uncertain in its results, to be viewed as a science, and too natural to be called an art. It is not, strictly speaking, a trade, and is not included among the professions. It is more ancient than knowledge, and lies fundamentally at the basis of our very existence.
