thor of the "Book of the Farm &C., &c. assisted
by JOHN 7. NoRroN, M "A, New Haven, Professor

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

Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted 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 ofheir class.
Black,oood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and ia 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 'sThe Caxtons" and 'My
Medal, m"The Green Hand, and other serials
ofwhich numerous rival editions are issued by tn,
leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages o
