1 12 RevieiL'S. — Liebig on Chemistry. 



the luxuries of a fruit and vegetable garden : why the good 

 wife and fair daughters be deprived of the pleasure which 

 the neat flower-garden ever aftbrds — and why indeed should 

 his dwelling stand exposed to the winter's blasts and the 

 summer's heat, when a little thought and a little labor, 

 would embosom it in the umbrageous foliage of the noble 

 elm, the majestic oak, the sombre pine, the graceful hem- 

 lock, or any other of the hundred trees our native forests 

 afford. But so it is. The farmer seems to declare that the 

 cultivation of his taste shall be no part of his occupation. 

 And all books which do not tell him how to put money in 

 his pocket, are discarded at once. 



We cannot follow the author any further. We have al- 

 ready, we fear, occupied too much room; and, in leaving 

 this subject, it is a source of congratulation to inform our 

 readers that the labors of Mr. Colman are soon to be ex- 

 erted in a new sphere — in an agricultural tour and survey 

 in Europe. The results of his labors will be published in 

 two or three octavo volumes, and, as many agricultural so- 

 cieties have become liberal subscribers, they will be distrib- 

 uted as premiums ; scattered thus among our farmers, 

 we look for valuable and important results. 



The remainder of the pamphlet is filled with the reports 

 of committees awarding premiums, &c.
