Overview

Excerpt from Transactions of the American Institute of the City of New-York, for the Year 1855 The undersigned Trustees, in compliance with the Law of May 5, 1841, present a report of the acts of the Institute for the year 1855. The Exhibition of Arts and Manufactures of the 27th Annual Fair of the American Institute, held at the Crystal Palace, in the city of N ew-york, in October last, exceeded in novelty, utility, and variety any previous fair, and attracted thousands of visitors. Those citizens who enjoy that extraordinary genius for originality of thinking and invention so distinguishing this new world, availed themselves of the great space and national centrality of that beautiful edifice to come from all parts of the union with their new and improved machinery of every description, with the implements of agriculture and arts. This ready response from inventors and mechanics, is a proof of the high estimation with which this time-honored institution is regarded; it is by this and kindred associations that the agri culturists are to be benefited, by labor-saving implements for cultivating the soil, and preparing their products for market. Among the many articles of interest to this class of visitors, were the improved plow, mowing, reaping, and threshing machines, which, contrasted with the crude plow, hand scythe, the sickle and flail, are improvements of great benefit to the farmer.
