Mr.. Editor :-Please inform the
public that | have just received the
first edition of the Plantation Diary
of the late Mr.. Valcour Anne, and
that ] will at once proceed to jour
ney through the river parishes for
the purpose OF offering the work to
Planters. The numerous metcor0-
logical data, thus furnished, will be
found Of great interest, and may
serve hereafter to frame n rule for
the prediction of cold w%eather-a
rule similar to that of Marshall
Hugcand 1or the prediction OF other
changes Of weather, which is en-
bodied in the work offered. The
attention of Planters is specially
called to the remarks of Mr.. Anne
concerning frozen cane. The cost of
publishing the manuscript having
been vastly underestimated, the
price of one volume is changed from
50 to 50, except for the subscribers
to whom | have already pledged
myself. | trust that the Diary will
receive all the patronage it deserves,
but will feel much more amply re-
warded, should | succeed in con-
veylng valuable information to the
patrons OF husbandry.
Your obedient servant.
