IN order to render the ftudy of Agriculture more gene-, 

 ral, efpecially among the rifmg generation, the Author 

 propofes, fhould it be thought eligible, to publifh, for the 

 ufe of fchools, an Abridgement of the writings of Cato, 

 Varro, and Columella; by fele£ling fuch pafTages as 

 fecm more efpecially adapted to the hufbandry of thefe 

 kingdoms, and to be of public utility. 



This advertifement owes Its exiftence to Mr. Aikin's 

 edition of SeleSia ^adam ex Plinii Hiji» Nat.* which can- 

 not but be confidered as a very valuable addition to our 

 fmall flore of Clailick Authors, proper for the ufe of fchools. 



It is thought that a judicious fele£l:ion from the writings 

 , of the three Authors above-mentioned, if well tranjlated^ 

 would be of fervice. 



• Seled pafTages from Pliny's Natural Hiflory.
