 the same institution. In 1871, this same book appeared in German, 

 having been translated at Baron Justus Liebig's request, by his son, 

 Herman, the present Baron von Liebig. The companion volume, 

 " How Crops Feed," appeared under the same auspices the follow- 

 ing year. And finally, during the past year, a Russian edition of 

 " How Crops Grow " has appeared in St. Petersburg. This edi- 

 tion comes out under the following title : " The Life of Agricultu- 

 ral Plants. Hand-book for Agricultural Schools and for Self In- 

 struction. By Samuel W. Johnson, Professor of Agriculture and 

 Agricultural Chemistry at Yale College, in New Haven. Trans- 

 lated from the German by N. K. Dimasheff, St. Petersburg : 

 1871." This volume is numbered Tome I, so that it is presumed 

 to be the intention of the translator to bring out the companion 

 volume.
