Excerpt from Essay on Sheep: Their Varieties Account of the Merinoes of Spain, France &C; Reflections on the Best Method of Treating Them, and Raising a Flock in the United States; Together With Miscellaneous Remarks on Sheep and Woollen Manufactures
The hope of acquiring such information in agricul. Ture and the arts as would be useful to my fellow citi zens, was not one of my smallest motives for accept ing a foreign mission. Without seeing Europe it was impossible justly to estimate the assertion of travellers relative to the arts and agriculture of that interesting country, to distinguish the truths from the falsehoods contained in the infinity of books that treat of those subjects, or to adapt their precepts to the soil, climate, and habits of the United States. And it is no small source of happiness to me to believe, that however my public service may be appreciated, my pursuits in what may be thought a more humble line, are not al together useless.
