expense of agencies and taxes will be an ANNUAL
charge reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law

that the officers and volunteers emitted to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,

ligen and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may he 20 modified as to make the warrants for

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE.

r EONARD SCOTT e. Co, No. 81 Gold street
| .N,D York, continue to publish the four lead
ing British Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood'
Magazine; in addition to which they have recent
ly commenced the publication of valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
"FARMER' 3 GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcTIcAL
AGRCULTURE,"
By Henry STEPHENS, f. r. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm, &c, &c; assisted
by JOHN p. MORTON, 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 Is 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 by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughng, 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 incalcuable value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of ga pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents each, or 50 for
the entire work in numbers, OF which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-publshed are as fol
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRIrIsH REVIEW Gree church,,
HE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Llberal)
BLAcKwooD' 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-
fessedy far above all other journals oftheir class
Biack,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 United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by Buwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
ofwhich numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood after it has been issued by usssrs Scot
g. Co., SO that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.
