The work upon husbandry now ushered before the American public is the 

 production of an English gentleman of great intelligence, assisted by some 

 of the best authorities upon rural subjects in his country. By collecting and 

 condensing the most interesting detail* relative to farming, chiefly derived 

 from living authors, such as Professors LJEBIG, LOWE, Sir J E. SMITH, BRANDE, 

 YOUATT, STEPHENS, THOMPSON, LINDLEY, I F JOHNSON, etc. etc., he has 

 been enabled to present the very latest information, and furnish a fund of 

 matter which cannot fail to attract all who take an interest in rural affairs, so 

 long studied, and so thoroughly understood as these must needs be in Great 

 Britain. 



The absence of speculative views, with the very practical and matter-of- 

 fact character of the information given upon all subjects treated of, will per- 

 haps be found to constitute the highest recommendation of "Johnson's Farm- 

 er's Encyclopaedia, and Dictionary of Rural Affairs." 



" No farmer or planter who desires to be master of the science of his pro- 

 fession should be without this work." Am. Farmer. 



"An excellent manual of agriculture and we venture to say that there is 

 not a farmer in the United States that cannot derive many useful hints and 

 much valuable information from this Encyclopaedia "The Cultivator. 



"Should be in the library of every farmer." American Agr. 



" We heartily recommend it to our readers, and wish every farmer in North 

 Carolina would take it and study it carefully." Raleigh Star. 



" We have now received twelve numbers of this truly valuable work, and 

 have examined them thoroughly. Its merits are far greater than we had be- 

 fore imagined, and we are fully convinced that such an amount of valuable 

 knowledge for farmers can be found in no other work in so cheap and con- 

 venient a" form. In fact, no farmer who pretends to be well informed in his 

 profession should consent to be without it. As a book of reference, it, is in- 

 valuable we would not be without it for four limes its cost." New Genesee 

 Farmer.
