The design of this work, in the language of the author, is to 

 "clearly and diitinrtly explain the great principles that are in- 

 volved in the applications of science to agriculture." In reference 

 to the manner in ^»hirh this design has been carried out, we can 

 Bot better express our own view* than by the adoption of the Ian- 

 foage of the committee by whom the examination of the esaaj 

 wms made, and the prize of $100 awarded: 



The eooimittee closed their report by reeommending tiut tb* 

 work be adopted for the District School Libraries. The ILxmOf 

 tive Committee of the State Agricultural Society have also pMMd 

 A resolution authorising the printing of one thousand copies at tbo 

 expense of the Society, to be awarded as premiums. We are con- 

 fident the work will meet with a ready demand, and that it will 

 bt read and studied with great satisfaction and advantage by all 

 who are interested in the principles of agriculture. — jtlhamy Cut-
