The following is from Dr. C. T. Jackson, of Boston, the best Agri¬ 
cultural Chemist in the U. S.:— 
[Copy.] 
Boston, November 6th, 1851. 
Dear Sir: T have the pleasure of acknowledging the receipt of a 
copy of the “ American Muck Book,” recently published by you, 
and edited by Mr. D. Jay Browne. 
From an attentive examination of this book, I have come to ihe 
conclusion that it is one of the best works extant, on the principles 
of scientific agriculture, and the best compendium of our most recent 
knowledge of the nalure of manures and their adaptation to particu¬ 
lar soils and crops. It cannot be expected that a single volume could 
possibly contain the whole sum of chemical knowledge applicable to 
the science of chemistry; but on looking over the closely printed and 
compact tables of analyses, and the abundant formulas, which this 
publication contains, ! could not fail to be surprised at the industry 
manifested in preparing it. I was also gratified to find it so well 
adapted to the American system of husbandry, and so practical in its 
character. Its copious and accurate index adds not a little to its value. 
I shall certainly recommend it to my agricultural friends as a very 
useful book, and one necessary to every scientific farmer. I am, 
very respectfully, your olft. servant,
