a hundred pages are added, upon the cultivation of fruits, ac- 

 companied with engravings of several of the most approved 

 kinds of apples, pears, cherries, plums, strawberries, &c. 



The plan is an exceedingly good one, and an almanac of 

 this kind must prove an exceedingly good remembrancer to 

 every amateur cultivator.

We are deprived of room, to notice this interesting pamph- 

 let as we could wish. It is filled with the reports of commit- 

 tees upon the great subject of diffusing Agricultural informa- 

 tion, the culture of silk, &c., and we can only advise its peru- 

 sal by all who have their interests and the good of the country 

 at heart. 



Art. VIII. The Chemical Principles of the Rotatiofi of 

 Crops. Pronounced before the American Agricultural 

 Association, March 4, 1846. By D. P. Gardner, M D. 

 Quarto Pamphlet, pp. 18. New York. 1846. 



Dr. Gardner is well known to the agricultural communi- 

 ty, for his exertions in bringing before them information upon 

 all subjects connected with the art of cultivation. But a short 

 time since, we reviewed the Farmers' Dictionai-y, a very ex- 

 cellent work, published under his supervision. We have now 

 before us a most excellent essay of the rotation of crops upon 

 chemical principles ; being an address pronounced before the 

 American Agricultural Association, of New York. We need 

 only add, that it is well worthy the attention of every intelli- 

 gent farmer.
