A word to Enterprising Men. 

 Having succeeded in making known the advantages 

 and the practical utility of my method to competent 

 and disinterested men, whose characters are sufficient- 

 ly known to the public to place their testimony beyond 

 doubt; my "method" being patronised by the most 

 eminent men of this country, Messrs Martin Van Bu- 

 ron. Gov. J. H. Hammond, Gen. Wade Hampton, Gen. 

 J. Li. Means, Col. Singleton, Col. Hugh Lawson, Hon. 

 J. R. Poinsett, W. B. Soabrook, Andrew Stevenson and 

 others, who have adopted it; several thousands of the 

 method having already been spread throughout the 

 Union, the greater part of the purchasers being eminent 

 agriculturists; and all subscribers being satisfied with 

 the work, my end has been attained, my task stops 

 here; it is now a mere business matter, ready to re- 

 ceive the developments of which it is susceptible. 



For these reasons, and desiring to employ my time in 

 new researches and experiments, especially upon the 

 subject of transmutation of dead into living vegetables, 

 a highly important subject in agriculture, already hint 

 ed at in my work, but which is still in a problematical 

 state, not reposing upon any solid basis; and to ena- 

 ble me also, in accordance with my former promises, 

 to impart the results of those e.xperiments to the sub- 

 scribers of my method, I have resolved to cede my 

 patent and method, either by Town, County, or by 

 State, to single persons or to companies, on the most 

 reasonable terms, the price of which will be fi.\ed ac- 

 cording to the agricultural importance of the Towns, 

 Counties, or States. 



Every purchaser of the patent for a Town, County, 

 or State, will be supplied with such number of copies 

 of the method, gratis, as may be agreed on. 



Note.— The patent right /or the State of New-York, 

 (Long Island and Staten Island excepted;) for the ten 



eastern counties of New Jersey ; for Frederic county, 

 Maryland; and /or about 40 towns in New England,. 

 have been ceded by me to several persons and confpa- 

 nies. For all other states and territories in the Union, 

 I can now dispose of the patent and method. 



Herein I present a new branch of industry to enter- 

 prising, intelligent, and active men. It would be su- 

 perfluous to enlarge upon its advantages, for it will be 

 seen at a glance, by perusing documents, mentioned in 

 the prospectuses, that my method enjoys a high repu- 

 tation in the Union, and that this enterprise is in its 

 nature as honorable as it is lucrative. 

 Important Notice. 

 Having now given the best plan, taken the best 

 measures for the prompt introduction of my "method" 

 into agriculture, and done every thing, on my part, to 

 enable every one to procure it at small expense, I no- 

 tify those who should feel tempted to use this system, 

 without being furnished with a right and a " method," 

 that they will not only expose themselves to be prose- 

 cuted tor an infringraent of the patent, but lose their 

 time and their money in vain trials, of which the re- 

 sult will be, if not totally unprofitable, at least very 

 incomplete. Therefore, do not deceive yourselves, but 

 be assured of this truth, that ray large method is to this , 

 day, the sole work in existence which contains the 

 improved and complete system, and in which its appli- 

 cation is rendered easy and profitable in all its branch- 

 es. In a word, its possession is the main condition of 

 your success ; first, because the whole work constitutes 

 one chain of facts and principles, which are linked 

 together and sustain each other, and form an insepar- 

 able whole which is indispensable to the proper com- 

 prehension of the system, enabling you to apply it in 

 a really profitable manner. Secondly, because it con- 

 tains, besides the process in question, a great number 

 of other instructions not less useful, the knowledge of 

 which will aid and guide you, so as to put you in a 

 way to derive from the system the greatest advantages 

 and profits. 



For these reasons, those who have formerly bought 

 my small method, can have the large one gratis, by an 

 application at my oflice, (post paid,) or to my agents. 



Those among you, who have faithfully tested the me- 

 thod and obtained satisfactory results, are respectfully 

 requeked to communicate with me. To those who 

 have not tested its advantages, I recommend, by all 

 means, carefully to conform to the instructions con- 

 tained in the large method, in which case their suc- 

 cess will be infallible. 



Statements and Explanations concerning the " Me- 

 thod," and the Rights attached to it. 

 When I first introduced this method into American 

 agriculture, I judged it prudent, for many reasons, to 

 publish at first but a part of it ; enough, however, to ena- 

 ble the intelligent farmer to succeed in the experiment. 

 Before encountering the expense required to publish i»» 

 full the fruits of my labors, I was anxious to ascertain 

 if this system would be well received and properly ap- 

 preciated by the agricultural public. My expectations 

 were not disappointed, that trial having been crowned 

 with entire success. Thus encouraged, it became my 

 duty to persevere, and to give you the result of all my 

 researches and experiments. This you will find in my
