From Mrs H. B. SsOtCe in The Independent February %
Mr.. Olmsted's book is the most thorough e1-
pose of the economical view of this subject which
has ever appeared himself a practical farmer,
having visited and surveyed the farming of the
Old World, he set out upon tour to explore the
farming of the New. His style is simple, natural,
and graphic and he is so far from being carried
away by his feelings, that one sometimes wonders
at the calmness with which he will relate the
most astounding facts. He never hesitates to
admit merit, or give praise when it is due. The
book is very thorough and accurate in its details
and is written in style so lively, and with SO
much dramatic incident, as to hold the attention
like work of fiction. A friend of ours, gen.
tleman of high literary culture, confessed to hav-
ing been beguiled to sitting more than the first
half of the night to read it.

information respecting the comparative condition
