mountains, and, it is said, cultivated ten of them. All this he did at a 

 comparatively moderate expence, by employing the labourers in the 

 winter season, when they could find little else to do. Several chapters 

 of the work are devoted to the raising of trees, and the management 

 of woodlands ; and the Lombardy poplar and Acacia are strongly re- 

 commended. All the different species of grains, legumes, and other 

 agricultural vegetables are successively treated of; and in the manage- 

 ment of forests he strongly recommends the coupe entre deux terres, 

 (cutting about a foot under the surface) as decidedly the best mode for 

 underwood. The author refers to a great variety of correspondents in 

 Europe, and president Jefferson in America. From Buonaparte he re- 

 ceived a present of 1200 francs for the usefulness of his services.

This work was crowned (as the French phrase is) by the Royal Society 

 of Sciences of Gottingen. The fundamental principle of the art of fatten- 

 ing is said, by Mr. Leuchs, to consist in augmenting the physical powers 

 of the animal, and subduing those of instinct. From the character given 

 of this work in the Bulletin Universel, it would seem well to merit trans- 

 lation.

In this work a short account is given of the cultivation about Torre 

 del Grecco, which appears to consist chiefly of grapes and cotton. The grapes 

 are raised for the press, and the principal wine produced is Lachryma 

 Christi. Some olives are grown ; and in a few places where the Manna 

 ash grows wild, it is tapped for the juice. There is also in this volume 

 a paper on the woad, and another on the saffron.
