Part 20

“An important work, ‘The Principles of Agricultural Practice,’ has just been published by Messrs. Chapman & Hall. It comes from the pen of the most experienced teacher of agriculture in this country, Professor J. Wrightson. The author deplores the tendency, which has become accentuated in recent years, of presenting agriculture as a patchwork of half a dozen different sciences, and endeavours to show that it is a great subject in itself, and one which may be treated independently. The result is a very successful and acceptable treatise. Professor Wrightson possesses the advantage of being himself a successful farmer and breeder, and he is able therefore to clothe his ideas in words that appeal forcibly to practical agriculturalists.... The work embraces a full and exhaustive study of the soil, and deals also with methods of cultivation, cropping, fertilizers, laying land down to grass, and cognate subjects. The volume is one which can be confidently recommended to the perusal of all who are interested in the great subject with which it deals.”
