LITKRARY PERIODICAL OF AMERICA. 



The extremely low rate at which it is published preclades the 

 hope of profit, except from a circulation greater than that which 

 any literay periodical has ever yet attained; but, with the new 

 avenues daily opening for the circulation of works of merit ; the 

 constantly increasing pouplation of the country; tho cheapness 

 of the Magazine, and the superiority of its literary and artistic 

 attractions to those of anj other work now issued; the proprietor 

 fearles?ly engages in an enterprise which will bo sure to benefit 

 the public if it should not enrich himself. 



The Magazine will be under the Editorial charge and supervi- 

 sion of CHARLES F. BRIGGS, who ha.s been connected with it 

 from the beginning.

 accompanied by well engraved Portaits of Eminent Divines of

NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 



'' Among all the writers on fruits, we do not know of one who is 

 Mr, Thomas's superior, if his equal, in condenping important mat- 

 ter. He gets right at the pith of the thing— he gives you that 

 which you wish to know at once; stripped of all useless talk and 

 twHttlc. No man has a keener eye for the best ways of doing 

 things. Hence we always look into his writings with the assu- 

 rance that we shall find something new. or some improvement on 

 the old; and we are seldom disappointed. 



This book is no exception It is fxiU. There is no vacant 

 space in it. Jt is like a fresh egg—all good, and packed to the 

 shell-full."— Pranf Farmer. 



'• We predict for it a very rapid sale. It should be in the hands 

 of every fruit grower, and especially every nurseryman. It is a 

 very cheap book for its price."— OAio Cultivator. 



'• An equally valuable, but cheaper book than Downing's. was 

 wanted by the great mass. Just such a work has Mr. Thomas 

 given us. We consider it in invaluable addition to our agricul- 

 tural libraries." — }Vool Grower. 



'■ It is a most valuable work to all engaged in the culture of 

 Fruit TrooB."- t/aVa Herald 



'' In the volume before ub. we have the results of the author's 

 experience and observation continued with untiring perseverance 

 for many years, in language at once concise and perspicuous."— 

 .Ilbaanv Cvltivlor 



'■ The vast number of varieties which have been propagated, 

 renders such a book peculiarly necessary at the present time, 

 serving to point out the good from the bad, and being just what 

 tho great mass of the community now want in reducing the list 

 of sorts by retaining the best."— 76. 



'■ We can safely say, with confidence, to our readers, if you need 

 a book to instruct you in the modes of growing trees. Sic, from 

 the first start- the system of pruning. &.c.. &c.. you will find the 

 American Fruit Culturist an extremely valuable work. • * The 

 million who purchase it, will find matter adapted to their wants, 

 superior to any work as yet published."— C/we^anJ Herald
