may own is inferior to others that will be here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, us it is
only by comparison tina, the relative merits ofany
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
rs as good, if not better than that of Others and
that it behooves you to calamity enter the list OF
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
haracter of the judges is a guarantee that you
an be defeated in no other way, you VIII ENJOY

lied to recess than yourself.

otism both combine to enjoln upon you the pro
prety of making grand exhibition of your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advlces,

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 oflhe United States,
make it matter of pride to display your machi-
merry at our exhibition, and vie with each other in
having the best and largest assortment on the
ground Such ambition is laudable-is worthy OF
American genius, and should be cherished by the
American heart.

thor of the Shook Of the Farm, &C., &C.; assisted
Ly john P. NORTON, 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 engravngs 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,
having, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfecton; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it Of incalculabe value to the student
Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at % cents each or US for
the entire work in numbers, ofwhich there will be

The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW CONSERVATIVE,
The EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRITISH REVIEW Gree Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Oiberal)
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
iects. 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
BIackwood, still under the mastery guidance Of
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and u.s. 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 Bulwer,) "My Peninsular
Medal, "ssThe 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 JMessrs. Scot
& Co. SO that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.
