thor OF the "Book Of the Farm, &c, &C.; assisted
10y JOHN p. NoRroN, M "A, New Haven Professor
Of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c.. &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing | 400
pages, with lS or 20 splendid steel engravings
and more than 800 engravngs on wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the besl
farmers, the best methods OF ploughing, 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
