 and Cheaper Edition, with Frontispiece by George Cruikshank. 



Fcp. 8vo, price 3s. Gd. 



"The writer handles this subject in such a masterly manner his style is so piquant, 

 as well as forcible, so scholarly, yet so racy his wit and his wisdom are so skilfully 

 blended he has so cleverly worked out his motto, Ridentem dicere verum, by telling 

 the truth laughingly that the reader finds himself irresistibly carried along, and he 

 and the book part .not company until he has made himself master of the tale that he 

 has to unfold." LEICESTERSHIRE MERCORY. 



" This is a rare little volume. We don't know which to admire most, the author's 

 humour or his wisdom. He has set himself the task of illustrating, in an agreeable 

 manner, the evils of custom, prejudice, and feudalism, as they exist among agricultu- 

 rists. It will create much laughter among the merry, and convey many a lesson to 

 the tiller of the soil. There are some very capital illustrations, too, embellishing the 

 volume." ERA. 



" Cleverly written in a vein of pleasantry, the work perseveringly uproots the preju- 

 dice of the past, and demonstrates that scientific knowledge is an important element in 

 successful tillage." LINCOLN MERCURY. 



54. 

 Piscarius. 



The Artificial Production of Fish. 



By PISCARIUS. Third Edition. 



Price Is. 



" The object of this little book is to make known the means by which fish of all de- 

 scriptions may be multiplied in rivers to an almost incalculable extent. . . . This prin- 

 ciple of increase Piscarius has carried out by argument and experiment in his little trea- 

 tise, which, we think, is worthy the attention of the legislator, the country gentleman, 

 and the clergyman ; for it shows how an immense addition may be made to the people's 

 food with scarcely any expense." ERA.
