NOTE BY THE SOCIETY. 



This little Treatise is taken literally from the 

 excellent "Journal of Practical Agriculture" 

 of the Canton of Vaud. It is from the pen of 

 one of the most intelligent practical cultivators of 

 Vaud, in which Canton, the vine, probably, is 

 cultivated as successfully, and with as much care, 

 as in any part of Switzerland. We will add, 

 moreover, that the vineyard of Mr. Brun is 

 among all others of the Canton pre-eminent for 

 its beauty, its perfect cleanliness, and the great 

 abundance of its product. 



This little work appears to us so complete, so 

 practically efficient, and above all, possessing 

 such a fund of useful instruction, at a moment 

 when many of our proprietors are occupied with 

 the preliminary arrangements of replanting their 

 vinegrounds, that we think we cannot present to 

 the public a more acceptable offering than this 

 republication of a system of vine dressing, tend- 

 ing so highly to the promotion of individual in- 

 terest, as well as the advancement of general 

 prosperity.
