This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with l6 or 90 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings wood, in the
highest style Of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best

haylng, 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 incalculabe value to the student

The work is being published in semi-monthly
