" The opinion of the public has been pronounced in favour of this excellent hook in a manner not to he mistaken 

 It is the best treatise on agriculture in the language, and this is much the best edition of it. A passage in the preface 

 is so full of practical wisdom, and is applicable with so much justice to agricultural affairs in their present state, that 

 we cannot do better than quote it, partly for its intrinsic value, and partly as an indication of the manner in which 

 1 rofessor Low has extended the matter of his valuable pages." PROFESSOR LINDLEY in the GARDENER'S CHRONICLE.
