Excerpt from L'Economie Rurale
I. La premiere règle de goût est de proportionner ses leçons à la nature des esprits. Voulez-vous former -un agriculteur, ne recourez pas, comme quelques-uns l'ont fait aux fleurs de rhétorique et aux artifices oratoires. A quoi leur a servi d'étaler leur science devant des villageois? Ils n'ont même pas été compris des savants. Mais, pour ne pas imiter ceux que nous critiquons, bor nons ici notre préambule. Nous allons traiter, avec l'aide de dieux, de tout ce qui concerne l'agriculture des pâ turages des édifices rustiques conformément en: pré ceptes de l'art de la manière de découvrir l'eau, et en général de tout ce qu'un agriculteur doit faire ou entre tenir dans chaque saison pour son avantage comme pour son agrément. Afin de suivre un ordre méthodique je par lerai, mois par mois, de l'ensemble de l'économie rurale.
