The culture of the cranberry is attracting much attention, 

 and well deserves to, for it is a most valuable fruit. Mi'.

Under another title this small volume first appeared two 

 years ago. It briefly explains all the processes of chemistry

First Report of the Noxious, Beneficial, and other Insects of 

 the State of Ncio York, made to the N. Y. State Agricul- 

 tural Society. By A. M. Fitch, M. D. 1 vol. 8vo., pp. 

 180. Albany. 1856. 



This valuable work we had laid by for an extended no- 

 tice, and we intend, at the first opportunity, to fulfil our in- 

 tentions ; at present, we have only time to say, it is a most 

 important contribution to the popular Entomology of the 

 country, and forms a fitting companion to Dr. Harris's able 

 report, both of which should be in the hands of every culti- 

 vator. It is published pursuant to an appropriation by the 

 N. Y. Legislature.
