The pans of this interesting work which treat upon 

 Timher Trees, and on Fruits, give much useful and cu- 

 lious inloriiiation on these subjects, — and are valuable to 

 the farmer not only for ihe facts, ibat are collected with 

 great lesearcb and ju:!gnienl, but for the inlerestini; 

 manner in which they are coaiijined and n.irratcd — leail- 

 ing the old and the young to regard their d.iily occupa- 

 tion, not alone as a lalioiious means of gsining a liveli- 

 nond, but as an amusement, and a science. 



The parts upon Insect Architectur"! and Transformation 

 will prove unusually intere-ting.— Interesiing to all ; but 

 to the Agriculturist particularly usehil, in enabling him 

 to understand the origin and the cbaiacler of such in- 

 sects as may be made subservient to ihe uses of man, as 

 well as of that numerous tribe that ollen blight the ex- 

 pected harvest, and nip his promised fruits iii the green 

 tree and in the bud. 



There is scarcely a subject already treated upon, or 

 Ibat has been announced in this beauiiful series, that is 

 not calcuhitod to prove interesting to the farmer. Not 

 the farmer alone, but Ihe mechanic, and the scholar, will 

 finu it in the highest degree useful and interesting. It is 

 a treasure to tlie man ot science, without proving a 

 stumbling-block to the unlearned. 



Each pari contains more than 200 pages, and nume- 

 rous engravings en wood; beautifully executed.- Price 

 forty cents a part, and continued on Ibe s-me terms. 



Socielips lor the diffusion of useful knowledge, schools 

 pnd seminaries, supplied on the most favorable terms. 



IJj'Tv.'clve numbers of the American edition are now 

 pubdshed, and several others which are equally beauii- 

 lul and interesting, now in press, and will aiipear in 

 speedy succession. May 25.
