THE Board of Agriculture of the American Insti- 

 tute have, by a Committee, examined " The Ameri- 

 can Poultry Book, a practical Treatise on the Man- 

 agement of Domestic Poultry," and are happy to 

 assure the agricultural community in New- York 

 and the United States, that this valuable work ex- 

 actly supplies a deficiency which has long been felt 

 in this department of the Agricultural Library. 

 They have no doubt that it will soon find its place 

 in every farmhouse, and wherever a taste exists 

 for rural habits. 



The above recommendation was unanimously 

 awarded at the meeting of the Board, May 18th, 

 1843. 

 Signed, on behalf of the Board : 



NICHOLAS WYCKOFF, Vice-president. 

 JNO. O. CHOULES, Secretary.
