 R01V, L'.ndon, and No. 7. Le'ub Terrace, EciiKhuroh, ' has beer; recef-/- 

 nJ. This ingenious and amufing pciforniancc fhall be reviewed as early 

 as poflible. 



We are forry that feveral reviews of agricnltiiral publications have 

 Ia;ii (o long with 11^. If an api)h)gy is necellciry, ^the bell will be ga- 

 thered from the fad, viz. thai fuch a qnantity of what may be called 

 ijniporary ir.aterials has conftantly been fent us, as rendered it out of 

 our power to overtake thofe of a more permanent defcription. 1q 

 our next we iliall try to pay off" fome of our outftanding arrears, par- 

 ticularly thofe due to the reviewers of Cumberland and Weftraoreland 

 furveys. 



We are honoured with Lord Somerville's communication on the 

 working of Oxen, which fhall be fubmitted to the conlideration of our

 defjrous of entertaining much refpcft for the fentlments of this gentlt- 

 rnan on pra6iical matters, though apprchenfive that feveral of his ob- 

 fcrvations at this time will not be geiicrally acceptable. However, he 

 fliall have a fair hearing. 



Mr T. B.'s efTay oa the Eaf Lothian Mode of Cropf^ing is very fatlsfac- 

 tory to us. We mu(l doubt, however, whether pallurt grafs will ever 

 make a coiifiderable fi>(urc in that diftrid, at le lit fo long as its increafe 

 is oppofed by l(>cal circumllarces. Abllraftedly fpeaking, we are not
