The arran4ement of the treatise is orderly and natural. After a .short historical introduction, it considers time prime origin of art--- the constitution of uature—under the heads of time atino:There, climate, soils, and the laws of Vegetation. It then discusses the first practical step--as selection of a 1141'111, leases, &e. : it next goes to the implements of husbandry, and then to tillage, ;:rule labour, manures, cropping, reaping, and harY(.-.1ing. Th, ha- provcinent or land billows, under the heads of draining, fencing, enclosures, &c.; after which, there 13 a very u.;e1111 and rather interesting account of the reclamation 01 w:oite muds. The ma- nagement of dairy. husbandry, in which t.ingland alone perhaps excels Scotland, completes the \yolk.
