434 Review of the JVeio York Farmer and Gard. Mag. 



lately, only the name of the proprietor has appeared on the title 

 page of the J\^ew York Farmer. The contributors are few in 

 number. A writer under the signature of H. C, which we may 

 interpret as the Rev. Henry Colman, appeared in the previous 

 numbers of the present volume, and the value of the communi- 

 cations need not be told, when we have said this : with the excep- 

 tion of Judge Buel, we know of no other writer upon agriculture 

 whose sound opinions we so highly value, and from whom the 

 farming public have received more practical information. But 

 of late the signature of H. C. does not appear. Since the es- 

 tablishment of our magazine, there seems to have been a jealousy, 

 on the part of some agricultural papers, in regard to its circula- 

 tion, as if it would interfere with theirs: but so far from doing 

 this, on the contrary, we believe it has increased their subscrip- 

 tion lists, while our own has received but little benefit. Very 

 few have bestowed but a passing notice upon it, unless we ex- 

 cept the jyeio York Farmer.^ which has done so to such a degree, 

 as to make that work a medium through which all, or a greater 

 part, of the original information contained in our magazine, is cir- 

 culated to the amateur horticulturists in that state. We have for- 

 borne finding fault with the editors of this work, thinking they 

 might see the injustice of this course, until we have been com- 

 pelled to do so, from a sense of duty to our numerous contribu- 

 tors, and to ourselves. 



In the present volume of the JVeto York Ftirmer., are included 

 a large number of the original communications which have ap- 

 peared in our magazine. These are generally, it is true, copied 

 with acknowledgment, though we are sorry to say, in some in- 

 stances without it. In the number for March., are no less than 

 ten columns, consisting of two long, and, we believe, considered 

 very valuable articles; and these taken, too, from our March (!) 

 number, which appeared but a week or two previous. From the 

 commencement of the January number to the last one published 

 (October) , there has appeared no less than thirteen articles from 

 our work, making Jifty-tioo columns of matter in the Farmer. At 

 page 167 and 102, are two articles by our correspondents, signed 

 Junius and S. Pond, copied without any acknowledgement; and 

 these have been the rounds of the agricultural papers throughout 

 the country, credited to the Jfeiv York Farmer. The last num- 

 ber for October contains four articles, from our magazine, for 

 the previous month, taking up twelve columns, which is nearly one 

 half the original matter in our September number. 



Of the ungenerousness of such a course, we are certain the 

 conductors, if they at once reflect, must be convinced. In re- 

 gard to those articles copied without acknowledgement, they 

 must be aware that it is deceiving the public to call that original 

 which has already appeared in another work. To copy from
