REVIEWS OF FORMER EDITIONS OF 



PERMANENT AND TEMPORARY PASTURES. 



THE TIMES, Feb. 4, 1886. — ' More than ordinary interest attaches to a treatise Just 

 published by one of the highest authorities on this subject — namely, " Permanent 

 and Temporary Pastures," by Mr. Martin J. Sutton, of Reading, dedicated by special per- 

 mission to His Eoyal Highness the Prince of Wales. The book treats of those varieties of 

 Grasses and Clovers on vrhioh Mr. Sutton has personally experimented. Nothing can exceed 

 the fulness of detail given respecting the character, habit, history, culture, uses, and agricul- 

 tural value of each of these numerous varieties, accompanied by chemical analyses specially 

 prepared by Dr. Voelcker ; and the plates, occupying nearly half the volume, for accurate 

 drawing and truthful artistic realisation of the tints and shades of stems, leaves, panicles, 

 and blossoms of the plants in natural size, are probably as perfect specimens of colour- 

 printing as ever embellished a botanical work. The fruits of Mr. Sutton's immense experience 

 are embodied in sections devoted to every branch and phase of the subject.' 



THE TIMES, Dee. 26, 1887.—' The study of Grasses is one to which increasing attention 

 is now being paid. In this country the handsome work by Mr. Martin J. Sutton is really 

 the only modern one of any note that we possess.'
