Excerpt from The Principles of Agriculture, Vol. 2 of 2
Tull, indeed, must ever be regarded as one of the earliest improvers of English agricultural implements his plougbs, bis horse-hoes, and his ingenious attempts to construct a drill machine evince a spirit of inquiry, and an advance in agri cultural mechanics, which betoken at once his ability and his enthusiasm. He was far indeed before the general agricultural knowledge of his age; and if he did now and then sufl'er his enthusiasm to carry him too far in his conclusions, yet the very efl'ert to improve in bands like his was sure to be attended with a measure of good success, for his exertions not only produced immediate good fruits, but they widely diflused a very general and well-founded suspicion that the implements of that age were not quite so perfect as they might be made. This led to considerable improvements, and prepared the way for still more ln portant efl'orts by the next generation of implement makers.
