BY HENRY STEPHENS, f. II. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the Book Of the Farm, &C., &c.; assisted
by JOHN T. NoRToN, IA, New Haven Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &C., &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with Is or 30 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughng, planting,
haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
TIC ANIMALS in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it of incalculable value to the student
Of agriculture
The work is being published in semmonthly
numbers of ga pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, or SIS for
the entire work in numbers, OF which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz:

The EDIsBuRsH REVIEW (Whig),
The NoRrH BRlrIsH REVIEW Free Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Liberal)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
iects 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals ofheir class
BIack,oood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing IL

States. Such works as "The Cations" and an
New Novel" (both by Buwer,) "My Peninsula
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials
of which numerous rival editions issued by thu
leading publishers IN this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages o
Blackwood, after Il has been issued by .Mesrs Scot
| & Co., that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the eariies
