THE Publishers of the Scientific .qmeriean re-

Of this valuable Journal commenced on the 2lst
of September, offering valuable opportunity for
all TO subscribe who take an interest in the pro-
gress and deveopement of the Mechanics Arts
and Manufactures of our country. The charac-
ter of the Scientific american is too well known
throughout the country to require detailed ac-
count of the various subjects discussed through its
columns.

culation than any other journal of its class in
America.

Quarto Form, on fine paper, affording, at the end
Of the year, an ILLUSTRATED ENCYCLO-

practical use in this country, and have procured
almost every work on the subject, whether pno

essential parts of which being comprised in TIM
Dictionary, render it as perfect and comprehen

to use great economy in type so that each page
the work contains at least four times The number
of words found in ordinary pages OF the same size
This has also secured to each plate workng-dfaw

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

T EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81 Gold street
Netc York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Backwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication Of Il valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
"FARMER's GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrrcAL
AGRICULTURE"
By HENRY STEPHENS, f. r. S., of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &C., &c.; assisted
by JOHN p. NORTON, 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 over | 400
pages, with l6 or 90 splendid steel engravings,
ana more than QUO engravlngs 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 poughng, planting,
hayng, 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 semimonhly
numbers of 64 pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, or S5 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 LONDON QUARTERLY REuEw CONSERVATIVE,
IHE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrrsH REVIEW (Free Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Lberal)
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
jects 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class
Backwood, still under the mastery guidance o
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from th
serial works of Buwer and other literary notables
written for that magazine, and first appearing il
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and an
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Peninsula
Medal, "'sThe Green Hand" and other serials
ofwhich numerous rival editions are issued by thu
leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages o
Blsckwood, after IL has been issued by Mes1s Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of thai
Magazine may always rely on having the sorlies
reading of these fascinating tales.
