Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the N. Y. State Agricultural Society, Albany: February 13, 1867 Gentlemen of the State Agricultural Society: The period has now arrived when I am to lay down the cases and responsibilities of the presidency, and to render to you an account of my stewartship. I do not know whether it is in compliance with law or with custom, that the President of the Society is expected to deliver an address on leaving the chair. But I can see chat there is an inherent propriety, and I may even say there is a necessity that he should do so. No man can spend a year in the service of the Society, watching over all its manifold relations to the great interests of agriculture, without learning many things, which ought to be the common property of his successors.
