TEE GENESEE FARMER. 



THE NEW AMEKICAN CTCLOP^IDIA. 



AND 



THE WAYS AND MEANS OF BUYING- IT. 



THE KEW AMEEICxVN CYCLOPEDIA is popular witliout 

 beino- superficial, learned but not pedantic, comprehensive 

 but sufficiently detailed, free from personal pique and party pre- 

 judice, fresh and yet accurate. It is a complete statement of all 

 that is known upon every important topic within the scope of 

 human intelligence. Every article in it has been specially written 

 for its pages by men who are world-renowned upon tlie topics of 

 which they spealv. They arc required to bring the subject up to 

 the present moment; to state just how it stands nmc. All the 

 statistical information is from the latest reports : the geographical 

 accounts keep pace with the latest explorations ; historical mat- 

 ters include tlie freshest just views; the biographical notices not 

 only speak of the dead, but also of the living, and ol the living up 

 to within the last half year. 



And the work is c/mq): three dollars a volume ; and each vol- 

 ume contains more— we have carefully computed the contents o 

 both— more than the whole six volumes of Bancroft's history, 

 which are sold at two dollars a volume, making in all twelve dol- 

 lars. Everv family ousiht to possess a copy of the New Cyclope- 

 dia. It is a" library in ilself. Let each man save twenty-five cents 

 a week, and by the time the work is complete he can not only 

 own the fifteen volumes, but also a handsome book-case to keep 

 them in. Save five cents a day, (a little self-denial will do it,) 

 and you save enough to buy a set of books which will give you 

 sound information upon all points about which you wish to inquire. 

 School children,— certainly the members of our High schools,— 

 can all have it. Save the pennies which are given to you, run 

 errands and "do chores" when you can, and thus earn a quarter 

 of a dollar a week,— and the task is done. Mechanics ; you have 

 not much time to read ; this then is just the work for you ; it wdl 

 help you upon all points of Inquiry, and three-hours over-u-ork 

 per week will buy it. Lawyers, physicians, clergymen! it will 

 give breadth and accuracy to your information, and add largely 

 to your influence and income.

OF 



THE HORTICULTURIST. 



ALONG connection with the public as a publisher, and espe- 

 cially of agricultural and horticultural works, as well as an 

 innate and fostered love of these topics, has induced me to be- 

 come the 



PKOPEIETOE OF THE HOKTICULTDPJST, 

 a journal which has long maintained a prominent place in the 

 homes of a larse circle of patrons throughout the ^Jnion, and 

 British Provinces. It is my belief, that by devoting almost exclu- 

 sive attention to this publication, its influences for good may be 

 greatlv extended. 



The" interest in Horticulture having greatly increased during the 

 publication of this periodical under the- successive editorial man- 

 agement of A. .J. DOWNING. B. MUNN, P. BARRY, and its 

 PKKENT Editoe, J. JAY SMITH, we hope that it will now enter 

 upon an enlarged sphere of usefulness.
