REVIEWS. 

 " The work seems to us both in thoroughness of execution and in clearness or arrangement entirely to fulfil all the hopes 

 that have been formed of it. We cannot doubt that the Government will heartily take up this most valuable book, and cir- 

 culate it both in the original and vernacular translations throughout 

 the length and breadth of the land ; nor should a moment be lost, 

 for it represents one of the most important and most promising lines 

 on which we can meet that terrible 'Malthusian difficulty.'" — Allen's 

 Indian Mail. 



" A work of extreme practical value." — Home Ncivs. 

 "Mr. Pogson's advice may be profitably followed by both native 

 and European agriculturists, for it is eminently practical and devoid 

 of empiricism. His little volume embodies the teaching of a large 

 and varied experience; and deserves to be warmly supported." — 

 Madras Mail.
