82 AGRICULTURAL, PUBLICATIONS IN U. S. 



Letters of Agricola, by John Young, Svo. pp. 462, Halifax, 

 Nova Scotia, 1822. These letters were first published in the 

 Acadian Recorder, in weekly numbers, and the author's name 

 concealed. Their effects in the Province, and the strong interest 

 which they excited, were very great. They were afterwards 

 republished in a volume. Though in a British Province, they 

 properly belong to American agriculture. They are written in 

 a highly interesting style, are full of information, and display 

 great learning and power. 



Nature and Reason Harmonized in the Practice of Husband- 

 ry, by the late John Lorain, Philadelphia, 1825, 8vo. pp. 563. 

 This book is full of good sense and practical information, deliv-

Compendium of Cattle Medicine, by James White, 12mo. pp. 

 233. Republished from the English edition, in Philad., 1827. 



Manual on the Mulberry Tree, by James H. Cobb, 12mo. pp. 

 68, Boston, 1831. 



Essay on Calcareous Manures, by Edmund Ruffin, Peters- 

 burg, Virginia, 1832, 12mo. pp. 242. 



Treatise on Poultry, Cows, and Swine, by B. Moubray. Re- 

 printed from the sixth London edition, and adapted to the Uni- 

 ted States, by Thomas G. Fessenden, Editor of N. E. Farmer. 

 12mo. pp. 266, Boston, 1832. 



The Complete Farmer and Rural Economist, by Thomas G. 

 Fessenden, 12mo. pp. 374, Boston, 1834. The established 

 and known competency, ability and industry of the author of 

 this work, are a sufficient guaranty of its merit and value. 



The Congress of the United States have likewise caused to 

 be printed and distributed through the country, two valuable 

 Treatises on the Cultivation and Manufacture of Silk, and one 

 on the Cultivation of the Sugar Cane. 



To the above are to be added a work on Apples and Fruit, 

 called, I think, American Pomology, and published in Philadel- 

 phia, with beautifully colored plates — the author to me un- 

 known, and some works of Mr. Wm. Prince, Long Island, and
