The Implements of Agriculture. By J. Allen Ransome. 



"With Engravings. In 1 vol., royal 8vo., 9s. 



" This excellent work will find its way into the library of every farmer." 

 Mark Lane Express. " This is a work possessing no mean pretensions to 

 public favour : the well-known talents of its author, in fact, are the best 

 guarantee that it is replete with sound practical information. It contains a 

 .well written history of agricultural implements in past and present use, with 

 copious comments upon their practical utility, enabling the inquirer to arrive 

 at a correct knowledge of their merits. The volume contains many well 

 executed wood-engravings of every kind of implement. It is a work that has 

 long been wanted, and it will find its way into the hands of every practical 

 man. We hardly know which to approve most the valuable information 

 which it contains, the result of most laborious research, or the candour of 

 the respected author, and freedom from a jealous spirit, in dealing with 

 the inventions and improvements of his competitors. It is a work which will 

 long redound to the credit of the great firm of Ransome and Co., in which 

 the author is a partner." Ipswich Journal. 



" From no hands could such a work have better emanated." Norwich 

 Mercury. 



" The interest of such a work is not confined to those concerned in the 

 cultivation of land readers of all classes may derive information, and inform- 

 ation of interest too, from this volume." Norfolk Chronicle. 



" Upwards of 160 first-rate engravings of implements are interspersed 

 throughout the book. We heartily recommend it." Brit. Farm. Mag. 



" A work abounding in useful practical matter." Farmers 1 Magazine.

 of Bedford, at an enormous expence, and during a series of years, as to the 

 nutritious qualities of each particular grass, and shewing to what kind of soil
