' We shall learn of him another, and a greater lesson, some day.' 



BY C. W. H. 



Opinions of the Press. 



' The book is as amusing as a novel.' ATHEN.XUM. 



'The work will be read with interest and advantage by every class of agriculturists 

 from the scientific experimentalist to the most obstinate stickler for primitive 

 usages, who conducts the operations of husbandry in the system adopted by his great* 

 grandfather.' NOBFOLK NEWS. 



' C. W. H. is a magician at whose touch the hardest and most impracticable clods 

 mellow down into the kindest and most friable of soils. No wonder that the same 

 magical wand should have power to transmute a theme so barren and repulsive as a 

 Clay Farm into one fraught with amusement and mental gratification.' 



FABMEBS' HERALD. 



' To find so much practical truth, conveyed with such brilliancy of fancy and literary 

 power, is somewhat unusual in agricultural literature, but we have scarcely ever seen 

 a more successful illustration of the author's motto from Horace of telling the truth 

 in a laughing way. ... It will soon attain, as it deserves, a very high degree of 

 popularity.' CALEDONIAN MEBCUK v.
