From Mrs. H. B. StOtcs in the Independent february %
Mr.. Olmsted's book is the most thorough e.
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, a 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.

The able editor of the EUening Transcript, Bos-
ton, thus speaks of this work
"This little book contains a vast amount of
information respecting the comparative condition
of the slaveholding and non-slaveholding States,
as to territory, population, industry, wealth, odu
cation, intelligence, religion, moral advancement
and general progress. The work must have cost
great deal of aborious research, and it certain
ly presents arguments in favor of Freedom on
every page. 1t contains just the kind of informa-
ton that should be more generally known in all
sections of the country. We hope there will be
| public demand for thousands of copies"
