FOREIGN AGRICULTURAL PUBLICATIONS. 



Preparatory to commencing the publication of the 

 Farmers' Register, arrangements were made to obtain 

 regularly the latest and bet)t periodical works on agri- 

 culture from Great Britahi, France and Belgium. It 

 was not expected that any considerable portion of Euro- 

 pean works of this kind would be interesting or useful 

 to the farmers of Virginia : but many articles of value 

 will be thus obtained, and by keeping up the regular 

 and early supply, we shall at least have the satisfaction 

 of knowhig that every thing new in the science or prac- 

 tice of agriculture in Europe, of miportance to our read- 

 ers, will be in our possession, and speedily and regu- 

 larly laid before them. Compared to the value of this 

 object, the cost of obtainmg these publications will be 

 trivial — though sufficiently heavy if considered as the 

 price of merely the few articles which will be selected 

 for translation, or republication, in the Farmers' Regis- 

 ter. Our first importation has just aiTived, too late to 

 allow more than a hasty view of the contents, and to 

 translate the short article wliich has been inserted. The 

 only work yet received is the Journal d' .Agriculture d'eco- 

 nomie rurale, et des manufactures, des Pays Bas, for 1830, 

 which though not very late, is the latest volume of that 

 work, its publication having been stopped by the Belgic 

 revolution ; and no periodical work on agriculture has 

 since been published in Belgium. 



The difficulties attending the first arrangements have 

 still longer delayed the arrival of the works ordered from 

 England, Scotland, and France : but they are expected 

 soon, and afterwards will be regularly fm-nished, if the 

 continuance of the supply should be found to be desi- 

 rable.
