THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE


r EONARD SCOTT & Co., No. 54 Gold street
IL .Nto 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
+" FARMER's GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PaAcrrcAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY Henry STEPHENS, r. X. s., Of Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book Of the Farm" &C., &c; assisted
by JOHN r. NoRroN, M. a., New Haven, Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c, DO
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over | 400
pages, with IL or 20 splendid steel engravings,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, in the
highest style or the art, illustrating almost every
implement Of husbandry now in use 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 is unique, and
will render it of incalculable 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 IS cents each or AS for
the entire work in numbers, OF which there will be
| at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative,
TIE EDINBURGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRITIsH REVIEW Gree Church),
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Libera)
AND
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory)
Although these works distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
jects. Ii is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class
Black,cood, 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
Medal, "'The 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 IL has been issued by JMessys. Scot
u Co., so that subscribers to the reprint ofthat
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
| reading of these fascinating tales.
