 withstanding his great weight, he is exceedingly 

 active, is very tractable, and is a capital feeder; 

 indeed, Mr. Eraser docs not hesitate to express his 

 belief that the animal could stand feeding for an- 

 other year.#In color he is a light roan, with white 

 predominating, and is altogether a very handsome, 

 quiet beast, with a kind head and docile eye. —

THE attention of the Scientific Agriculturists and others. Is In- 

 vited to a new article of ground bone. Bone manure has long 

 been known to be the most fertilizing article in use, not except- 

 ing even guano, but there has always existed a difficulty in pul- 

 verizing it at a cheap rate in manure, that it will speedily and 

 powerfully operate on the soil. That difficulty has at length 

 been overcome, and the article is now offered in its pure and most 

 efficient state, ground to any desired fineness, and at the same 

 time retaining all its ammonical and gelatinous matter, consti- 

 tuting the fertilizing qualities, which causes this manure to be so 

 superior to all others; and another consideration in its favor is, thai 

 it can be furnished to order fresh ground, retaining all its virtue, 

 at a very short notice, and at a reasonable rate. AH orders ad- 

 dressed to the subscriber will meet with prompt attention, and 

 all necessary information furnished by

" HOLLO ON THE ATLANTIC"

Extract from the Preface — j 



" The books are intended to^be books of instruction rather than 

 of mere amusement; and in perusing them, the reader may feel 

 assured that all the information which they contain, not only in 

 respect to the countries visited, and to the customs, usages, and 

 modes of life that are described, but also in regard to the general 

 character of the incidents and adventures that the young travel- 

 lers meet with, is in most strict accordance with fact. The main 

 design of the narratives is thus, the communication of useful 

 knowledge, and everything which they contain, except what is 

 strictly personal, in relation to the actors in the story, may b« 

 depended upon as exactly and scrupulously true."
