• Anderson, James, LL.D., an eminent agricultural writer, was born at Hermiston, a 



village near Edinburgh, in 1730, on a farm which his parents had possessed 

 for some generations, and which he was intended to inherit and to cultivate. 

 He studied chemistry under Dr. Cullen, and soon leaving his farm near 

 Edinburgh, took one in Aberdeenshire of 1300 acres, which, after improving 

 and cukivating for twenty years, he let, and enjoyed an annuity from it 

 during his life. He settled after leaving Aberdeenshire, in the neighbourhood 

 of Edinburgh, where he published the Bee, in weekly sixpenny numbers, till 

 it extended to 18 volumes. In 1797, he removed to Isleworth, near London, 

 Here he enjoyed his garden, and died in 1808, aged 69. Besides the works 

 which bear his name, he wrote the reviews of books on rural matters for
