Two New Publications 
FOR THE MELODEON, HARMONIUM, CABI¬ 
NET ORGAN, &C. 
The great and rapidly increasing popularity of these in¬ 
struments, which have been brought to such a high degree of 
excellence as to elicit the warm commendation of artists, 
and to merit a place in every drawing-room; and the fre¬ 
quent complaint of the inaccessibility of suitable arrange¬ 
ments and selections from the best works of the great mas¬ 
ters, for such instruments, have induced these publications. 
I. 
SCHOOL FOR THE MELODEON, HARMONIUM, AND 
CABINET ORGAN; containing Progressive Lessons, Stud¬ 
ies, and Scales; Songs, Duets, Trios, and Quartets; Volun¬ 
taries, Interludes, and Recreative Pieces; for the Parlor and 
Choir; carefully prepared with reference to the advance¬ 
ment of Learners, both in technical ability and taste as well 
as the true development of the powers and beauties of these 
instruments. By GEORGE F. ROOT. 
This work is not a compilation from Piano Forte instruc¬ 
tors, but its arrangements are all carefully adapted to the 
sustained tones of the instruments for which it is designed. 
Beginning -with the simplest lessons possible, one thing is in¬ 
troduced at a time , the course of instruction being carefully 
progressive throughout. It varies very materially from all 
previous instructors for these instruments, and it is hoped 
will be found to supply a want long felt by learners and 
teachers. One quarto volume. Price $2.

HARASZTHY’S WINE-MAKING, &c. Grape-Culture and 
Wine-Making: being the Official Report of the Commis¬ 
sioner appointed to investigate the Agriculture of Europe, 
with especial Reference to the Products of California. By 
A. Haraszthy. Maps and illustrations. Svo., Cloth, $5.00. 
Sent by mail, postage free, on receipt of $5. 
The author of this work, himself a vine-grower on a large 
scale, was appointed by the Legislature of California as com¬ 
missioner to visit Europe to investigate the ways and means 
best adapted to promote the improvement and culture of 
the grape-vine in California. He visited in succession the 
chief wine districts of France, Germany, Spain, and Italy 
being familiar with the process of wine-making as practised 
in his native Hungary. His credentials gave him ready ac¬ 
cess to every means of information. The proprietors of the 
leading vineyards and wine establishments afforded him ev¬ 
ery facility for investigation, and he collected in addition a 
vast amount of material in the shape of reports and treatises 
upon tliesubject. The most important of these are embodied, 
either in full or abridged translations, in this volume, which 
abundantly attests the rare zeal, fidelity, and intelligence 
with which he performed the duties of his commission. Few 
more readable books of travel have been produced than that 
portion of the work which describes his own personal expe¬ 
riences and observations. He always keeps in view the spe¬ 
cial object of his journey, describing fully and clearly all the 
processes employed in the culture of the vine, the gathering 
of the grapes, and the fabrication of wines: noting also all 
other subjects which could relate to the agricultural interests 
of his adopted State. The statistics of the wine-culture, 
which he has laboriously collated, arc something remarkable. 
Just How to G-roYv it. 
Every particular, from the selection of the Seed, and 
preparation of the ground, to the Gathering, Curing, and 
Marketing the Crop, is given in a work issued by (lie 
Publisher of the American Agriculturist, and sent post¬ 
paid for 25 cents. This work consists of a selection of 
the best fourteen out of eighty-five Essays, prepared by 
eighty-five different cultivators, residing in various parts 
of the Northern and Middle Stales. In each of the Essays 
contained in this work, the writer tells, in a plain, practi¬ 
cal, straight-forward' manner, just what to do, and howto 
do it. Any item omitted by one is given by another, so 
that the information is full and complete. Several en¬ 
gravings illustrating the method of drying, packing, etc. 
The work is worth its weight in silver to everyone grow 
ing even a small plot of tobacco.
