Excerpt from Seventh Annual Report of the American Institute of the City of New York: Made to the Legislature, March 29, 1849 The Trustees of the American Institute of the city of New-York, in conformity to law, herewith present to the New-York State Agricultural Society a report of their proceedings for the past year, being their seventh annual report. The great interest which the public have evinced within the last few years, not only in the annual fairs, but in the intermediate operations of the Institute, enforce upon the trustees the duty of reporting for general information, all the transactions which can be useful to the great agricultural, commercial, and manufacturing interests of this country. Before entering upon details, the trustees feel themselves bound, alike from a sense of justice and regard, to advert to the great loss which the Institute has recently sustained in the death of their Corresponding Secretary and Superintending Agent, Mr. Thaddeus B. Wakeman. This gentleman was so long and intimately connected with the American Institute, that no person in any section of the country can have heard of the one without being familiar with the other. The projectors of the Institute, among whom was Mr. Wakeman, like those of every other novel undertaking, had numerous obstacles to contend with. Their enterprise was denounced as chimerical and visionary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
