In buviuK books, as every thing else, we are liable to 

 disappointment it we make a purchase without seeing the 

 art icle. Admittiivj that the bookseller could read all the 

 books he offers, as he has them /or sale it were hardly to 

 be exjKiCted he would \)e the one to mention all tlie taults. 

 as well as a;ood thimrs about a book. 1 very much desire 

 that those'who favor me with their patronajfc, shall not 

 he disappointed, and therefore, I am goiiiK to try to T>i'e- 

 vent it bv mentioniim: all the faults so far as I can, that 

 the purciiaser may know what he is setting. In the fol- 

 lowing list, books that I approve 1 have marked with a . 

 those I esveciaUy approve * * ; those that are not up to 

 times t ; Ijooks that contain but little matter for the pric-, 

 lartfe tvpe and much space between the lines J ; foreign *. 



Tiiese hand books tliat tell us how to do things, not 

 only educate us, but they are often the very best iiive<t- 

 iiieiit that one ever mak ^s, and the small amount they 

 cost, amies back manv times every year if they are faith- 

 fully read. When we get interested, is just; the tune to 

 read up a subject. AVe hear of receipts for doing certaiu 

 Ihings, being sold for many times the cost of thes-e books 

 that contain llie same thing and ever so much more, and 

 <iftcn with illustrations fully ext)laining the work. I nev- 

 er spent happier hours than in reading ray poultry books 

 when 1 was a Vioy ; and while busy with my coops and 

 vards 1 not only "avoided idleness and bad company but I 

 educated mv hands in the use of tools, as well as my 

 mind in the science of protit and loss. Parents if your 

 •hildren hive aiiv taste for these useful pretty handbooks, 

 fs it not A duty (.t yours to encourage it by judicious pnr-
