From the St. James's GtAzettb. 



"Professor Wrightson is a practical farmer as well as a man of science; and he is, 

 as far as our memory serves us, the only man living who combines these qualities 

 with the actual function of teaching. The coiguaction is as valuable as it is rare. . . . 

 Every teacher of elementary agriculture should study these pages. It is a safe and 

 judicious guide to what lies further on." 



From the Academy. 

 " Besides stating lucidly the theory of modem agriculture, the author every here 

 and there descends to practical advice. Most farmers are amusingly distrustful of 

 the man who writes ; but the sound sense here concentrated, and the teachings 

 necessary for these times of sorrow and trial to agriculture, will at once disarm 

 suspicion, if the cautious reader perseveres and weighs the value of Professor 

 Wrightson's advice." 



From Bell's Weekly Messenger. 



" Professor Wrightson has given us a very interesting and instructive book, and he 

 treats on many subjects with a precision and definiteness which can only be achieved 

 by those who have had actual experience in carrying out the work connected with 

 them, and watching the results. ... A book which will be found of much use to a 

 young farmer, as well as to the teachers for whom he particularly wrote it. It Is in 

 reality a book on farming, and it has more actual farming in it than any book we 

 know of the same siie." 



From the Times. 



"As a practical text-book of farming there is no work that we have read that can 

 surpass this handy little volume, and it should have a good number of readers among 

 those actually engaged in tilling the soil. But this is not its chief value. This comes 

 from its being a model of the way in which agriculture, as an art, can be intelligently 

 and popularly taught." 



From the Morning Post, 



" An important work, ' The Principles of Agricultural Practice,' has just been 

 published by Messrs. Chapman & Hall. It comes from the pen of the most experienced 

 teacher of agriculture in this country. Professor J. Wrightson. The author deplores 

 the tendency, which has become accentuated in recent years, of presenting agriculture 

 as a patchwork of half a dozen different sciences, and endeavours to show that it is a 

 great subject in itself, and one which may be treated independently. The result is a 

 very successful and acceptable treatise. Professor Wrightson possesses the advantage 

 of being himself a successful farmer and breeder, and he is able therefore to clothe his 

 Ideas in words that appeal forcibly to practical agriculturalists. . . . The work 

 embraces a full and exhaustive study of the soil, and deals also with methods of culti- 

 vation, cropping, fertilizers, laying land down to grass, and cognate subjects. The 

 volume is one which can be confidently recommended to the perusal of all who are 

 interested in the great subject with which it deals."
