“After many months of weary toil, we submit the first volume of \u2018The Agromeck,\u2019 now with fear and trembling, not even with the hope that it will find favor in your eyes. We are forced to confess that it is far different from what our enthusiasm once led us to hope to make it. But the work was more difficult than we thought; sometimes we have been on the brink of giving up the task, but some kind, loving friend would breathe into our ears words of encouragement. Thus we have labored on and finally produce this work, which will doubtless make the world stand aghast and amazed at its wondrous content.\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

It is our earnest hope that other volumes of \u2018The Agromeck\u2019 will be produced, not like this one, but better. The class of \u201903 has set the pace \u2014 let the classes hereafter follow suit.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
