THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE


r EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 81 Gold street
IL .Mp 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 valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMER s GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcricAL
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, &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with l8 or 30 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 ploughing, planting,
hayng, harvesting, &c, &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfecton; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book il unique, and
will render it of incalculabe 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, IS for
the entire work in numbers, Of which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-pubshed are as fol-
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative (,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRITIsH REvIEw (Free Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Uiberal.)
AND
BLAcKwoop'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 SUBJ
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.
Biacklcood, 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
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My PENINSULA
Medal, 4" "'The Green Hand" and other serials
of which numerous rival editions issued by thu
leading publishers in this country, have to be re-
printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Backwood, after Il has been ISSUED by JMesrs. Scot
G. Co., so that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.
