THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

r EONARD SCOTT Il Co., No. 81 Gold street
! .Nsw York. continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
: ,n,menced the publication of a valuable Agr-
cultural work, called the
" FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRACTICAL
AGRICULTURE"
By HENRY STEPHENS, +. R. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm" &C., &C.. assisted
by john P. NoRroN, M "A, New Haven, Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c, 90
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave Volumes containing over 400
pages, with 10 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 pioughIng' planting
having, 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 ncalculable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers Of 81 pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and sold at 25 cents each, or IS for
the entire work in numbers Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals rs-published are as fol-
lows, viz:
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrrsH REVIEW Gree church,,
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Liberal.
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents ia devoted to political sub
iects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class.
Black,oood, still under the mastery guidance OF
Chrisopher North, maintains it's ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notabes,
written for that magazine, and FIRST appearing in
it's columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by BulwerD "My Pennsular
| Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Backwood after il has been issued by JMessrs Scot
&, Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

hold it's annual Exhibition and Fair at the city Of

bring for exhibition thereat portions of your stock,
the products of your orchards, and Of your gardens
Don't presume that any animal, or product, you
may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as it is
only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
= as good, If not better than that of others, and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list of
competition if defeated honoraby, and the high
Character Of the Judges is a guarantee that you
can be defeated in no other way, you will enjoy
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
filed to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
scives and daughters to bring whatever appertalns
to their peculiar departments, as embroiaer mousse

To the Manufacturers Of agricultural Implements
and Tools we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine TO enjoin upon you the pro
priety Of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, as from our present advces,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
ers and planters, and Of distinguished strangers
from most OF the States of the Union, will be
greater than upon any former occasion here or
elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics Of the United States,
make it a matter Of pride to display your machi-
nery at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the

American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.
