ary 10th, 1853, and continuing two months and a half. The 
following subjects will be considered: 
1st. The sources of the food of plants, and the nature and 
properties of the mineral, gaseous, and organic substances, 
which administer to their growth. 
2d. The process of growth by which these substances are 
converted into vegetable matter, and the laws which control 
the change. 
3d. The nature and properties of the different kinds of vege¬ 
table matter thus produced. 
4th. The means of promoting growth, and increasing the 
product of the soil, including a consideration of natural and ar¬ 
tificial manures, and their preservation and application, the ro¬

tening of animals. The results of the latest experiments will 
be presetted to the class. 
The Lectures will be made perfectly simple and compre¬ 
hensible, assuming no previous scientific knowledge on the
