221. AGRICULTURE, Happiness and.

—The United States * * * will be more
virtuous, more free and more happy, employed
in agriculture, than as carriers or manufacturers.
It is a truth, and a precious one
for them, if they could be persuaded of it.—
To M. de Warville. Washington ed. ii, 11. Ford ed., iv, 281.
