Abstract
MR. COLNAGHI, Consul-General at Florence, in the course of an elaborate Report on his district, refers at some length to agricultural education in the province of Florence. He describes especially the well-known “Academia dei Geor-gofili,” the Tuscan Society of Agriculture, the Comizi Agrari, or Agricultural Boards, the Stazioni Agrarie, and also refers to the various institutes and schools which have been established of late years in the province. The “Academia dei Georgofili” of Florence was founded in 1753, and was the first Association of the kind formed in Italy to promote the science of agriculture. On the roll of the Academy are to be found the names of the most distinguished Italian agronomists, and the long series of its Transactions contains important papers on all points of interest connected with the agriculture of Tuscany.
