THE Author cannot permit a new edition of his Treatise on 

 the Vine to appear, without expressing the great pleasure that he 

 derives, in witnessing the rapid progress that the principles of 

 Vine culture, promulgated in its pages, have made since they 

 were fiist brought under the notice of the public. Several large 

 editions have been sold, and the demand is daily increasing. 

 The Author, therefore, flatters himself that he may now, without 

 being guilty of presumption, consider his Treatise as the standard 

 work of reference, in that branch of horticulture of which it treats ; 

 more particularly so, since the major part of the writers in horti- 

 cultural periodicals and other works, which, from time to time, 

 profess to give directions for the management of Vines, are in 

 the constant practice of quoting from his Treatise, (but in gene- 

 ral without acknowledgment,) the directions therein contained, 

 and the principles on which they are founded.
