THE BRITISH PERIODICALS AND THE
FARMERS GUIDE
Oct. l4-3taw3m.

EONARD SCOTT d. Co., No. 81 Gold street
IL .Nep 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 valuable Agri-
cultural work, called the
FARMERS GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcTlcAL
AGRICULTURE"
BY HENRY STEPHENS, f. II. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the Book Of the Farm, &C.. &c. assisted
by 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 30 splendid steel engravings,
ana more than GOO ongravings on wood, in the
highest style of the art illustrating almost every
Implement of husbandry now in by the best
farmers, the beat 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 ia unique, and
will render it of incalcuable value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of "a pages each, exclusive of the Steel
engravlngs, and is sold at 25 cents each or IS for
the entire work in numbers, OF which there will be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-publshed are as fol-
lows, viz /:
The LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW Conservative
THE EDMpuRGH REVIEW (Whig),
The NORTH BRITISH REVIEW Free Church,,
The WESTMINSTER REVIEW Uiberal.)
AND
BLACKwOoD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion oftheir contents is devoted to political sub
jects. 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
Blackcood, still under the mastery guidance o
Christopher North, maintains its ancient celebrity
and is, at this time unusually attractive from tn,
serial works Of Bulwer and other literary notabes
written for that magazine, and first appearing il
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and an
New Novel" (both by Bulwer) "My Peninsula
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials
ofwhlch numerous rival editions are issued by thu
leading publishers in this country, have to be re
printed by those publishers from the pages o
Backwood after il has been issued by .Messrs. Scot
& Co., so that subscribers to the reprint of tina
Magazine may always rely on having the earlies
reading of these fascinating tales -.s.-.

MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and House Of Representatives. cfthe
United States in Congress assembled The memo
rial of the undersigned respectfully represents tba,
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the act
of 28th Of September, $780, 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
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law
by preventing the sale of the warrants, assumes
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
ligent and respectable citizens of the States. They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be so modified to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &C.

THIRD ANNUAL EXHIBITION
MARYLAND state A

Maryland state Agricultural society.
A peal TO THE MEMBERS OF THE MARYLAND
N STATE AGRICULTURAL SoCIETy.-We desire
that you should bear IN mind, that on the go,
oath, and 25th days of October, your Society Will
hold its annual Exhibition and Fair al The city OF
Baltimore and we appeal to you, one and all, to
bring for exhibition thereat portions OF your stock,
the products of your orchards, and Of your gardens.
Don't presume that any animal, or product you
NAV own is inferior to others that WIN he here,
and be thus deferred from bringing them, as 1t is
only by comparison that the relative merits OF any
thing can be determined. The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
IS as good, If not better than that of others, and
that il 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 will enjoy
he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
lied to success than yourself.
And while we address you to bring such articles
as are properly in your department, we crave per-
mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
oipeS and daughters 10 bring whatever apperlalns
to their peculiar departments, as embroidery mousse
hold manufactures, the proaLets Of The dairy and Of
the poultry yard, preserves, domestic lones, coVec
lions, and above all things, TO come themselves as
o,i,ou ,oon,an, and the beautiful celebrations Of her
aste and genius, no display ca, be perfect.
To the Manufacturers of agricultural Implements
and Tools, we would say, that interest and patri-
otism both combine TO enjoln upon you the pro
priety of making grand exhibition OF your ma
chinery of all kinds, from our present advices,
we are led to believe that the assemblage of farm
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 Of the United States,
make it a matter of pride to display your muchi-
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.

fer favor by copying this notice.
