It gives me pleasure to state that Mr, Davy has solicited Mr. S. 
Howard, of the Boston Cultivator, to collect pedigrees and illustra- 
tions in this country for the 3d volume, and has authorized Mr. H. 
to obtain information as to any and all mistakes which may have 
been made as to the Recording of American Anima's in Davy’s 2(J 
volume, and such corrections will be made in the 3d volume. The 
plan proposed is that a copy of all the pedigrees and illustrations col- 
lected by Mr. H., as the Editor in America, shall be forwarded to Mr. 
Davy, and a copy of those collected by Mr, D. will be sent to Mr. 
Howard in this country. The whole matter will be published in 
America for our use, and in England for tbeir use, by which means 
an American and English Devon Herd Book will be united, and the 
price reasonable, as the expense of English printing and duties will 
be saved. This concert of action has been brought about by Mr. 
Davy’s good feeling and liberality towards this country, and I am 
only the instrument through which Mr. Davy acts, and from this 
tirne forth Mr. Howard will receive all communications on the sub- 
ject, as will appear by reference to his advertisement. 
^^“All Editors who will give (he above three insertions will re- 
ceive a copy of the 1st, 2d and 3d volumes.
