Agriculture of the United States in 1860 compiled from the original returns of the eighth census, under the direction of the Secretary of Interior, by Joseph C. G. Kennedy, superintendent of census

Abstract

THE importance of agriculture as a recourse for wealth, and as -supplying the means of sub sistence to all classes of community, is so well understood, and its relation to manufactures, so many of the products whereof it consumes, and which it supplies with so many of its most important elements, is so generally appreciated, as to render superfluous any argument to prove its value. It is an interest which, better than any other, may be expected to flourish as manufactures and the arts prosper, and it is of more importance to those interested in its advancement to understand its progress from time to time than to secure any special legislative acts with the view to stimulate its productions.
