BLACKWOOD'S EDINB'G MAGAZINE(Tory) 

 The great and important events---Religious, Political, 

 and Military— -now agit .ting the nations of the Old World, 

 give to these Publications an interest and value they never 

 before possessed. They occupy a middle around between 

 the hastily written news-items, crude speculations, and 

 flying rumors of the newspaper, and the ponderous Tome 

 of the historian, written long after the living interests in 

 the facts hf rccoids shall h.ive passed away The pro- 

 gress of the War in the East occupies a large spare in 

 their pages. Every movement is closely criticised, 

 whether of friend or f e, and all short -coming fearlessly 

 pointed nut. The letters from the CRIMEA and from the 

 BALTIC in Blackwood's Magazine, form two of its most 

 popular contributors, give a more intelligible a d reliable 

 account f the movements of the great belligerents, than 

 i>an elsewhere be found. 



These Periodicals ablv r^pres^nt the three great 

 Political parties of Great Britain ---Whig, Tory, and Rad- 

 ical, ---but politics forms ordy one feature of their charac- 

 ter. As organs of the most profound writers on Science, 

 Literature, Morality, find Religion, they stand as they 

 ever have stood, unrivalled in the world of letters, being 

 considered indispensable to the scholar and the profes- 

 sional man, while to the intelligent r^a 'er of every class 

 thev furnish a more conect and satisfactory record of the 

 current literature of the flay, thi ousjhout. the world, than 

 can be possibly obtained from any other source. 



EARLY COPIES. 

 The receipt of advance sheets from the British pub- 

 lishers gives additional value to these P.pprints. especially 

 during the present exciting state, of European affairs, inas- 

 much as they can now be placed in the hands of subscri- 

 bers about as soon as the original editions.

PREMIUM MACHINES. 



MY PATENT STRAW CUTTER AT $10 was award- 

 ed the first premium offered by the Virgin ia*State Agricul- 

 tural Society for the best hand Straw Cutter to l>e exhib- 

 ited at their Fair in 1853. At the S<nte Fairs in 1854 and 

 1855, it again competed with all others, and each year 

 received the highest award of the Society. Besides this 

 evidence of superiority, I oiler, to all persons not familiar 

 with it, the machine, subject to be returned in a month, if, 

 after trial, it does not prove the best machine at any price, 

 considering its combined advantages for cutting hay, oats, 

 stalks, shucks, vegetables, &c. The machine, when to go 

 long distances, will be secur ely packed, without charge, 

 so as to occupy but 4 cubic feet, and may be sent to any 

 part of the United States at a trifling cost. Notes on any 

 solvent banks, or reference, enclosed with order, will secure 

 prompt attention. 



My CYLINDER .CORN S HELLER, capable of shel- 

 ling 300 bushels in a ay by hand, and my combined 

 machine, capable of shelling 300 by hand, and six hundred 

 by horse power, were each awarded the first premium as 

 above, in 1855 They are warranted to be of superior 

 workmanship, and not liable to be put out of order. 



My THRESHERS have been awarded all the 

 premiums offered by the State Agricultural Society in 



1853, 1854 and '55, after each year competing with all the 

 prominent threshers mauufactured in this arid many of tire 

 Northern States. Purchasers may, in addition to the above 

 evidence of merit, have the experience of more than one 

 thousand farmers using them. 



Pitts' THRESHER AND SEPERATOR, with Cleaner 

 attached, and mounted on wheels, was awarded, in 1853, 



1854, and 1855, the highest premium offered for the best 

 Thresher and Cleaner. I am manufacturing these ma- 

 chine, in a superior manner, and shall be able to furnish 

 all orders given in time for their completion. 



Hussey & McCormick's REAPER, with all latefim- 

 provements for horse-power, stationary and portable 

 Tnreshers, wheat Fans, Straw Cutters for power, shellers 

 for hand at $9, and for one horse or steam power $45, 

 shelling 1,500 bushels a day; Harrows, Seed Drills, 

 Horse Rakes, Hay Presses, LandRollers, Lime spreaders, 

 Machine Belting of all kinds, with a general assortment of 

 Agricultural Machinery and Tobacconists' Fixtures, kept
