" To the agricultural reader it is invaluable, inasmuch as the defini- 

 tions of agricultural, botanical, zoological, chemical, geological, and 

 entomological terms are clear, and very frequently illustrated. The 

 latter is the case with injurious insects more especially. A good ex- 

 ample is given in connection with the hop plant. Not only is this 

 illustrated, but there is also a portrait of the hop moth (Hypena 

 hunnili), and of its larva. In connection with seed also we have a 

 drawing of the seed weevil (Apion Sayi). The best description of all, 

 however, is given in connection with wheat. There is the name of the 

 plant in English, old English, Anglo-Saxon, old Saxon, Dutch, German, 

 old high German, Icelandic, Swedish, Danish, and Gothic. Then 

 comes the botanical definition and short history. There are illustra- 

 tions of both bald and bearded wheat; of the wheat beetle (Anobium 

 paniceum) and its larva; the wheat midge (Diplosis tritica), of its larva, 

 and as attacking the wheat, and of the wheat thrips and wheat worms. 

 Attention is also directed to other parts of the work in which other 

 matters connected with wheat (Hessian fly, for example) are found 

 Described."
