793 The End of the Second Series of the Journal, 
English Land Law (Messrs. Frederick Clifford and J. A. Foote), 
Taxation (Major Craigie), Farm Capital (Mr. Elias P. Squarey), 
Practical Agriculture (Mr. J. A. Clarke), Dairy Farming (Mr. 
J. C. Morton), Pastoral Husbandry (Mr. W. T. Carrington), 
The Cultivation of Hops, Fruit, and Vegetables (Mr. Charles 
Whitehead), The Agricultural Labourer (Mr. H. J. Little), The 
Influence of Chemical Discoveries on the Progress of English 
Agriculture (Dr. Augustas Voelcker), and the Royal Agricultural 
Society of England (Mr. H. M. Jenkins). 
In a rapid survey of the pages of the Series, such as has 
been attempted above, it is scarcely possible to do more than 
indicate generally the wideness of the field which the Journal 
has covered. A glance at the complete Index to the Series, 
which is now in course of preparation, will be more eloquent 
than any words as to the faithfulness with which its pages have 
reflected agricultural thought during the last quarter of a cen- 
tury. It is hardly too much to say of the Journal that it is 
a cyclopaedia of agriculture and a complete library of reference 
for the farmer. 
As to the future form and appearances of the Journal, it is 
impossible at the moment of writing to speak definitely, as the 
subject is now under the anxious consideration of the Council. 
But, whatever may be decided, it may at least be said that, 
with improvements adapted to the needs and requirements of 
the day, and perhaps with more frequent issue, every exertion 
will be made in the future to carry on the Journal in the same 
spirit as has characterised its past, and in a manner worthy 
both of its distinguished traditions and of its extended influence.
