Art. I. The Economy of Farming., from the German 

 of Prof. Burger; with copious Notes from the works of 

 Tliaer, Veit, Schwertz, Sprengel, Petri, c^c, and an Index. 

 By E. Goodrich Smith. 1 vol. large octavo, pp. 132. 

 New York. 1S43. 



This work is a translation from the German of Prof. 

 Burger's valuable Manual on Agriculture, or that part of 

 it termed the " Doctrine of the Household, or the Economy 

 of Farming. ^^ The translation was undertaken by Mr. 

 Smith, at the express desire of Charles L. Fleischman, Esq. 

 of Washington, D, C, a gentleman distinguished for his 

 scientific knowledge, and intimate acquaintance with Ger- 

 man writers upon agriculture. Mr. Fleischman, in a letter 

 to Mr. Goodrich, states that he has not seen any English 

 or French works on the subject, which contain such im- 

 portant information as those of Prof Burger, and their 

 publication, he thinks, would convey much im])ortant 

 knowledge, not only to the learner, but to the practiced 

 farmer. 



We have not room to make extracts from the volume, 

 but we may safely recommend it as a useful publication to 

 the agriculturist. If the present work meets with favor 

 from the public, it will be followed by other valuable trea- 

 tises, not to be found in our language, from the same 

 author. 



Mr. Fleischman assisted Mr. Goodrich in his translation, 

 and examined the manuscript, so that the work may be 

 considered free from errors. The index is very copious, 

 and all the different subjects referred to with facility.
