Recent Improvements tn Arts, Manufactures, 
and Mines, being a Supplement to his Dictionary. 
By Andrew Ure, M. D. Illustrated with 190 engrav¬ 
ings. D. Appleton, & Co., 200 Broadway, pp. 304 
Price $1.50. This is an admirable supplement to Ure’s 
great work, and brings down all improvements in Arts 
to the present day. In this we find an able article of 
12 pages, on the different kindsx)f Guano, with elabo¬ 
rate and exact analyses of them. Caoutchouc (India 
Rubber) is treated at length. Bread, with illustrations 
of an improved bakery, interested us much; new light 
is thrown on Fuel, while Flax, Tobacco, Tea, Stear- 
ine, Silk, Chocolate, Coffee, and many other things 
relating to agriculture, are more or less considered. 
The Dictionary proper contains 1340 pages, and is il¬ 
lustrated with 1241 cuts. Price $5,00, or with Supple¬ 
ment, $6,50. 
Brande’s Encyclopaedia of Science, Litera¬ 
ture, and Art : Comprising the History, Description, 
and Scientific Principles of every branch of human 
knowledge; with the Derivation and Definition of all 
the Terms in general use. Edited by W. T. Brande: 
Illustrated by numerous engravings on wood. Pub¬ 
lished by Harper & Brothers, S2 Cliff st, New York, 
p. 1352, double columns, imperial octavo. Price, 
andsomely bound, $4,00. In editing this Encyclopae¬ 
dia, Mr. Brande has been assisted by the most eminent 
men in Great Britain ; and among these we find the 
names of Cauver, Gwilt, Loudon, M’Culloch, Gallo¬ 
way, Raper, Merivale, and Owen. Such are the mer¬ 
its of this able work, that it immediately became a 
standard authority. It contains a large amount of 
matter in a very condensed and concise form, embrac¬ 
ing all that is known on the subjects of which it treats, 
up to the present year. As a Dictionary of reference, 
there is nothing equal to it. 
Rural Economy in its Relations with Che¬ 
mistry, Physics, and Meteorology ; or Chemistry 
applied to Agriculture. By J. B. Boussingault. Trans¬ 
lated, with an Introduction and Notes by George Law. 
D. Appleton & Co., 200 Broadway, pp. 507. Price 
$1,50. The subjects are, Vegetable Physiology and the 
chemical constitution of its substances; Saccharine 
Fruits,and Juices; Soils ; Manures ; Rotation of Crops; 
Feeding of Animals; Animal Origin; Economy of An¬ 
imals ; Stock in general and its production of Manure ; 
Fattening of Domestic stock ; and Meteorological con¬ 
siderations. All these subjects, with their various con¬ 
nections, are treated by the author in a clear, able, and 
satisfactory manner, and the philosophy of the whole 
matter considered in its relation and applicability to 
Agriculture. The work is the fruit of a longlife of study 
and experiment, and its perusal will aid the farmer 
greatly in obtaining a practical and scientific know¬ 
ledge of his profession. 
Blackwood’s Magazine. An exact fac-simile of 
the Edinburgh Edition, reprinted by Leonard Scott & 
Co., 112 Fulton st. N. Y. Price $3.00 a year. We see 
that Professor Wilson and Sir Edward Lytton Bulwer 
are contributors to the February number. It is racy, 
witty, and brilliant, and altogether the best British 
Magazine issued. 
Acknowledgments. — To Alexander M’Donald, 
Esq., for the Shield at Eufaula, containing the address, 
marked , of the Barbour Co. Ag. Society, to the Presi¬ 
dent of the Alabama State Ag. Society, on the subject 
of growing less cotton. We need scarce add that we 
agree entirely in its cogent reasoning. To the Plant¬ 
er’s Banner for a marked article, u Farming at Attaka- 
pas.” It is admirable, and Mr. Murphy deserves high 
praise for setting so good an example. As soon as we 
can get up to our correspondence on hand, that has 
been knocking hard at our door for admission during 
the past three months, we mean to copy it.
