In his opening address to the audience of this lecture course, which took place on the large farming estate Schloss Koberwitz in Silesia (then Germany, now Poland), Rudolf Steiner expresses his thanks to all who have co-operated in creating the occasion of these agricultural lectures and talks. He especially thanks Count and Countess Keyserlingk for their hospitality.

These lectures are reproduced here in a first English translation made by Dr. Guenther Wachsmuth. This edition has been edited extensively by Frank Thomas Smith, and includes the facsimile representations of the blackboard drawings made by Rudolf Steiner.

This edition was translated from shorthand reports unrevised by the lecturer and presented here with the kind permission of the Rudolf Steiner Nachlassverwaltung, Dornach, Switzerland. From Bn 327, GA 327, CW 327.
