Book Description

Excerpt from Journal of the Bath and West of England Society, Vol. 6: For the Encouragement of Agriculture, Arts, Manufactures, and Commerce, Work and Clean Our volume for 1858 contains little which is not either of home growth or of our own importation. It is with much regret that we have been obliged to omit valuable matter, marked for reprinting from other sources, in deference to the prior claims of contributors within the West of England district. Some of the Prize Essays doubtless contain much that is compiled from matter already in print but it will be remembered that, by the rules of competition for Prize Essays, competitors are encouraged to record the experience of others, provided that the sources from which their information is drawn be distinctly acknowledged, - a provision which the Editor trusts has been in every case frankly complied with. Some of the matter in the present volume treats of scientific problems still unsolved, and some of practical questions in which there is room for much di 'erence of Opinion. Whatever pains may be taken to correct statements obviously inaccurate, or to qualify opinions Open to serious objection, the statements made by individual authors in this volume must, after all, only rest on the testimony and reasoning by which they are able to support them.
