MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. afthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned, respectfully represents that
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
Of 18th OF September, 1880 that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that thew do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them. the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an arruaI
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
thew could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memoriasts further represent that the law, 4,
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun 81
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
gent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 80 modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they Will ever
pray, &c.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE

T EONARD SCOTT Il Co., No. 81 Gold street
Ia Ns0 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
F" FARMERs GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, F. 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 20 splendid steel engravings,
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
haying, harvesting, &c, &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book ia 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, or rs for
the entire work in, numbers, Of which there will be
at least Twenty-Five.
The British Periodicals re-pubIished as fol-
lows, viz:
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW (Conservative),
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whg), a
The NoRTH BRIrisH REVIEW (Free Church,,
The WEsrm,NsrER REVIEW (Liberal.)
AND
BLAcKwooD'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 sub
jects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand
essedy far above all other journals oftheir class.
Biacktoood, still under the masterly guidance Of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
81; ~ fron tbo
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notabes,
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 an y
Medn, ""The Green Hand, and other serials,
of which 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 ii has been issued by Messrs. Scot
e. Co., so that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading Of these fascinating tales.
