XU BIBLIOGRAPHY OF GRAPE CULTURE. 



Physique," and is, we believe, the only thing in all the three vo- 

 lumes of that work which at all relates to vine culture. 



Having no desire to preftice our Avork with a mere catalogue 

 of our private library (as we have seen done more than once), 

 no work has been mentioned which it will not repay the reader 

 to consult. On the general subject of the "Theory of Horti- 

 culture," Lindley's work has been our guide and our standard, 

 and for our chemical facts and principles we have relied upon 

 the work of Graelin, published by the Cavendish Society of 

 London, in twelve volumes, as we have always found it most 

 full and reliable. 



But in selecting a course of reading with a view to advance 

 his knowledge of grape culture, the student must bear in mind 

 that so varied, complex and intimately connected are all the 

 operations of nature, that the facts which have a bearing upon 

 any portion of them, are to be found in books which professedly 

 treat of the most diverse subjects. Chemistry and mechanics 

 are alike important ; the principles which govern the relations 

 of heat, light, and electricity, exert a more or less important 

 influence on all vegetation, and he who would be fully master of 

 the subject, must aim at an extent of knowledge only to be 

 found in the widest range of scientific reading and experiment.
