pages, with l8 or 90 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

haying, harvesting, &C., &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature Of the book is unique, and

Of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of ga pages each, exclusive Of the Steel
engravngs, and is sold at 25 cents EACH or As for

Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, vet but a small
portion of their contents is devoted to political sub
ects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class
Biack,oood, still under the mastery guidance Of
Christopher Morrill, maintains its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables,
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,
of which numerous rival editions 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 JMessrs Scot
e. Co., so that subscribers to the reprint Of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.
