T EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 54 Gold sire 4
i .Ns,u York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews aud Backwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of a valuable Agr-
cultural work, called the
+" FARmER's GUIDE TO ScIEnrrrIc AND PRAcrIcAL
sf 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 l8 or 90 splendid steel engravings,
and more than GOO 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 plougbing, 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 incaculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthy
numbers Of GA pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents each, IS for
the entire work in numbers, ofwhich there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz:
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative,
The EDNBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NoRrH BRirsH REVIEW (Free Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal.)
BLAcKwooD's EDNBuRcH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion fther coptsnts s devoted to political sub
jects. It ia their literary character which gives
thera their chief value, and in that they stand
iessedly far above all other journals oftheir class
Biaek,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 in
it's columns both in Great Britain and in the Unitet
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by BulwerO "My Peninsula
Medal, ,""The Green Hand, /" and other serials
ofwhich 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 Messrs Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the eariiesl
reading of these fascinating tales.
