On Agriculture and Rural Affairs. 443 



Apraxin, M., a Nobleman possessing one of the largest houses in Moscow : 

 Zemlie'dieltchesky Journal, &c. General Report made to the Society of 

 Agriculture and Rural Economy in Moscow. Moscow, 8vo. 



From this pamphlet we learn that peasants are sent from the remotest 

 parts of the empire, even from Kamtchatka, to the agricultural school at 

 Moscow ; and there they are said to make so much progress, that much 

 national improvement is anticipated. 



Anon. Avantages resultant de l'Introduction de la Culture varie'e des 

 Terres. Warsaw, 8vo. 



The author cultivates his own estate in the neighbourhood of Warsaw; 

 on which he informs us he has introduced an improved succession of crops 

 in the British manner. He is the author of an Agricultural Catechism in 

 the Polish language. (See Bibliotheka Polska, n. 4.)

Memoirs of the Board of Agriculture of the State of New York. Published 

 by authority. Albany, 3 vols. 8vo. 



The New York Board of Agriculture was organised in 1820; the first 

 volume of its transactions was published in 1821, and the third and last in 

 the beginning of 1826, when the Society became extinct in consequence of 

 the expiration of its charter. Besides a number of original papers written 

 in America, these volumes contain extracts and abridgments from British 

 works, in almost every department of agriculture and horticulture. The 

 selection seems to have been made with great judgment, and the work can- 

 not fail to be of much real use in the country where it was published. As 

 soon as we can find room we shall extract several notices from it, especially 

 on the subject of insects. The second and third volumes were edited by 

 Jesse Buel, Esq. F. H. S., c a distinguished cultivator, whom we hope to 

 reckon among the number of our contributors.
