INTRODUCTION. XV 



The notes appended to the several subjects discussed, are 

 such as may throw light on their application to the different 

 soils and climates of the United States. Originally written 

 for England, materially differing in soil, climate, and in the 

 application of its labor, from the more favored land we inhabit, 

 many of the suggestions, without explanation, would fall value- 

 less upon us. In the brief remarks which are added, it is 

 hoped that the text may lose none of its interest, but impart, 

 to the full extent that it does to the Englishman, its instruction 

 to the inquiring mind of the American. 



BUFFALO, September, 1853.
