r EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 54 Gold street
IL .Nso 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 a valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
" FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAL
AGRicULrURE,"
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, 60
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over 400
pages, with l8 or 80 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
haylng, 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 ncalcuable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in sem.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, (which there will be
at least twenty-five.

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated yet but small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub

them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class

and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works OF Buwer 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 Pennsular
Medal, ""The Green Hand,' and other serials,
Of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref

MEMORIAL.

To the Senate aud House Of Representatives qfthe
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 they 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 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
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assun e
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
ligen and respectable citizens Of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so muJiisd as to make the warrants Tor
bounty lands assignable, and they Will ever
pray, &c.
