The volume before III, Of course, has something to
say Of Guess, Oxides, Acids, Nitrogen, Ammonia,
&C., &c. It is unfortunate thGt these unfamiliar
terms lie at the threshold Of on ignorant persons DC

entirely leaden can sufficiently master them by ono

and noble art, to which every natural science freely
contributes, and that the true farmer must be ono Of

fancy himself TOO bright or shrewd for cultvator;
for he can crowd SO much braa into one hat a.

This book, or Of its class, ought to be in daily
use in every school m the and--in city as well ~
country. Even an ordinary Reader for advanced

found in use in that capacity Is it possible that men
