Sect. II. Bibliography of Agriculture in Foreign Countries. 



7899. Numerous works on agriculture are published in the French and German languages, and a con- 

 siderable number in the Italian ; but a great proportion of these are translations from British authors. 

 Very few agricultural books have been printed in the Dutch, Flemish, Danish, Swedish, Polish, Spanish, 

 or Portuguese languages, and scarcely any in those of Russia or Hungary. We shall notice the principal 

 French, German, and Italian works, exclusive of translations, and add a few American books. 



SuBSECT. 1. Bibliography of French Agriculture. 



7900. Of French books on agriculture we have given a selection only : those who wish to see a complete 

 list are referred to the Bibliographic Agronomique, Paris, Svo ; in which are given the titles of upwards 

 of 2000 works, including translations and books on gardening. A general idea of French culture in all its 

 branches may be obtained from the Nouveau Cours Complet d' Agriculture, 16 vols. 8vo (edition of 1821.), 

 compiled by the members of the Section of Agriculture of the French Institute, each of whose names are 

 given to the articles he contributed.

 at the age of 80 years. He was employed by Hen. 

 ry IV. to form a plantation of the white mulberry 

 in the garden of the Tuilleries ; and he is generally 

 considered as the father of the culture of that tree 

 in France. He published a great many useful 

 works, the principal of which is his Theatre d' Agri- 

 culture, the first edition of which was published in 

 1600, and the 20th in 1675.

 under the title of Pnedium Busticum, treating of 

 gardens, trees, vines, fields, meadows, lakes, forests, 

 orchards, &c. Having married his daughter to 

 Liebault, they afterwards studied agriculture con- 

 jointly, and published the Maison Rustique, the 

 modern editions of which are still the most popular 

 agricultural works in France.
