looking, full-paged mass of letter-press, scattered over with the necessary illustrations in the forms of equally 
business-like woodcuts. Nor is the jurisdiction of unaffected common sense confined to what is technically 
called ‘the getting up’ of the work—to the mere dress of ‘The Gardener’—it extends to the ‘matter’ of the

REVIEWS OF THE TENTH EDITION, 
A tenth edition has been published of this well known and deservedly favourite little book. Forthe benefit of those who arc 
unacquainted with it we may just mention the character it has acquired as an interesting, simple, and sufficient guide on the 
subjects of which it treats. It contains chapters on the history and br-eds of sheep, on the wool trade, on the improvement of 
breeds, on-the general management of a flock, and on the diseases to which the animal is liable.”—Gardeners’ Chronicle, Jan. 9- 
seg erusal and study of * Blaeklock's Treatise on Sheep, which only embraces points of importance, and rejects those 
which cannot admit of practical application, will be to the farmer of thefirst advantage. The clearness with which he treats 
of their diseases, which are illustrated by engravings both coloured and plain, make it a work of reference, not only for the 
well educated farmer, but also to those who practise sheop management without previous training."— Farmers! Magazine, Jan.
