PREFACE. 



THIS work having come to a fifth edition, evinces its fa- 

 vourable reception by the public; and though the author 

 trusts it will continue to recommend itself to those who art? 

 acquainted with it, he thinks it is but doing himself justice, 

 and may promote its more general adoption and usefulness, 

 by republishing the following SANCTIONS, as they occurred 

 on thejirst Edition ; since which it has been considerably en- 

 larged and improved. 



" The directions of this Manual appear to us to be distinctly 

 and usefully given, and little as we are used to the practical part 

 of the science, we have read the work with pleasure." Gentle- 

 man's Magazine, June, 1797. 



" This work is calculated for Gentlemen Gardeners, and we 

 altogether recommend it as convenient in size, and very judici- 

 ously arranged." British Critic, October, 1797. 



*' This work is no compilation. The respectable author has 

 given to the public, the result of his experience, delivered with 

 that plainness and perspicuity, which cannot fail of rendering 

 his work highly useful to every reader who shall consult it either 

 for pleasure or instruction." Monthly Review, November, 1797. 



" A very extensive and useful performance, in which much 

 information will be found, and the young Gardener will derive 

 both pleasure and amusement from this compendious and cheap 

 manual." European Magazine, June, 1798. 



" Mr. Marshall's observations on the modes of cultivating 

 different articles, deserve the attention of the inexperienced 

 Gardener." Critical Revietv, July, 1798. 



" This is one of the most complete v/orks on the subject we 

 remember to have seen; and is a work both from its nature and 

 execution, which every country gentleman ought to have in his 

 possession." Analytical Review, October, 1798.
