This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with lS or 20 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 ploughing, planting,
haylng, harvesting, &C., &C., the various dOmes-
TIC animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book in unique, and
will render It Of incalculabe value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
cngravings, and is sold at Is EACH or IS for

at least twenty-five.

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of oflheircontents is devoted to political sub

them their chief value and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals Of their class.

and in, at this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables
