IMPROVEMENT AND MANAGEMENT 

 OF DOMAIN LANDS. 



'FHE FRIENDS of a Person of 



■"■ great experience in laying out Grounds, 

 Rural Architecture, Gardening, Planting, and 

 Farming, are desirous of obtaining a Situation 

 for him as Land Steward, or general Adviser 

 and Manager, on an Estate where extensive Im. 

 provements are going on or contemplated, con- 

 fident that so fit a person for such a situation is 

 rarely to be met with. He is well educated, a 

 good draughtsman, has been abroad, is middle 

 ag»d, is married, but without children, and has 

 for some years past been in business for himself. 

 A letter addressed to A. B. 3. Oxford Arms

 further particulars from the writer of this, or a 

 personal interview with the Party referred to.

"To^GARDENERS, and CULTIVATORS 



in general. 



() # TOMALIN has purchased 



the Business lately carried on by Mr. 

 Frederick Andrews, at the Drug Mills in Sun 

 Street, and removed it to his Warehouse, at 31 

 Dowgate Hill, where he begs to offer his ser. 

 vices in supplying Cultivators in general with 

 Rock Salt, Saltpetre, Salt in general, and all 

 Mineral and Artificial Manures; and in such 

 general Agency as Gentlemen in the Country 

 may require. 



The great advantage of using Salt and Salt- 

 petre as manures, is too fully established to re- 

 quire recommendation. Of the extent and 

 utility of improvement practicable, it need only 

 be observed, that some of the best Cultivators 

 now produce threefold the quantity of which 

 their fathers did in the same land, by the routine 

 of their time.

 considerable expence. Further particulars may

 said ; and to treat for the same, application to

In this work it is intended to give Coloured 

 Plates of Birds, accompanied by descriptions, 

 including their Generic and Specific Charac- 

 ters, references to the best figures of those al- 

 ready published, and occasional remarks on 

 the nature, habits, and comparative anatomy 

 of the species. The illustration of new groups 

 and new species will be first attended to ; next, 

 such subjects will be given as have been 

 described but not figured ; afterwards, those 

 which have been incorrectly represented, or 

 where the variation in plumage, arising from 

 age, sex, or season, has not been particulariz- 

 ed; and lastly, in order to render the work 

 complete, all the species which have already 

 been described or figured. 



The drawings and engravings will be made 

 by the authors themselves, or under their im- 

 mediate inspection. They will be taken from 

 living specimens wherever such can be ob- 

 tained ; and particular attention will be di- 

 rected to the natural position and characters 

 of each subject. — Illustrations of the generic 

 distinctions and peculiarities of structure will 

 be given either on the same Plates with the 

 Birds, or on Supplementary Plates. 



The work will be published in Quarterly 

 Parts, royal 4to ; each part containing from 

 fifteen to twenty Plates, on which will be fi- 

 gured from twenty to thirty Species. The price 

 of each part will be 1/. lis. 6d. 



A few copies will be printed on large paper, 

 price 21. 12s. 6rf.
