Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Agriculture: An Address Delivered Before the Bristol County Agricultural Society
The result of both the considerations which I have thus far suggested is the same. The great agricultural want of our country is the want of consumers and not of producers, of mouths and not of hands, of markets and not of crops. And this is a want which no government protection like that which has been, or may be, afforded to manufactures or to commerce, can possibly supply. On the contrary, that sort of protection would only increase the difficulty, and aggravate the disease. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
