Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Before the Liberia Union Agricultural Enterprise Co I appear before you, Mr. President and members of the "Liberia Agricultural Enterprise Company," with feelings of pleasure, and a sense of my inability to do justice to a subject which in all countries has been coeval with the first dawn of civilization, and which at the present day is considered the basis of all other arts. I consider it due to myself to inform you in the first place that I have no practical knowledge of Agriculture, yet I did not feel at liberty to decline your polite invitation to address you; therefore, I must claim your indulgence for any and every inadvertency, while I offer my views, the result of my few weeks´ sojourn in your land of perpetual vegetation. I congratulate you on the successful formation of the first Society for the developement of the art of Agriculture in Liberia; - and am free to pronounce it a move in the right direction, and at the right time. Associations are necessary to carry out great enterprises. When Rail Roads are to be constructed, or Bridges, or even the unrivalled Market houses of Philadelphia are to be built, the first step to be taken is the formation of a society or company for the specific purpose; - the result is social intercourse, confidence in each other, and ultimate success in the undertaking.
