list or mr. coBBErr s books. 7 ingiii that country; and also' an account of the causes of poor Rirkbeck’s failure in his undertaking. A book very necessary to all men of property who emigrate to the United States. — W. C. THE ENGLISH GARDENER. COBBETT’S ENGLISH GARDENER ( Price Gs.) ; ora Treatise on the Situation, Soil, Enclosing and Laying-out of Kitchen Gar- dens; on the Making and Managing of Hot-beds and Green- Houses ; and on the Propagation and Cultivation of all sorts of Kitchen-Garden Plants, and of Fruit-Trees, whether of the Garden or the Orchard. And also on the Formation of Shrubberies and Flower-Gardens; and on the Propagation and Cultivation of the several sorts of Shrubs and Flowers ; concluding with a Kalendar, giving Instructions relative to the Sowings, Plantings, Primings, and other labours to be performed in the Gardens, in each Month of the year. — A complete book of the kind. A plan of a Kitchen- Garden, and little plates to explain the works of pruning, grafting, and budding. But it is here, as in all my books, the Principles that are valuable : it is a knowledge of these that tills the reader with delight in the pursuit. I wrote a Gardener for America, and the vile wretch who pirated it there had the baseness to leave out the Dedication. No pursuit is so rational as this, as an amusement or relaxation, and none so innocent and so useful. It naturally leads to Early Rising; to sober contemplation ; and is conducive to health. Every young man should be a gardener, if possible, what- ever else may be his pursuits.— W. C. THE WOODLANDS. COBBETT'S WOODLANDS ( Price 14s.J ; or, a Treatise on the preparing of Ground for Planting ; on the Planting; on the Culti- vating; on the Pruning; and on the Cutting down of Forest Trees and Underwoods ; describing the usual Growth, and Size, and Use3 of each sort of Tree, the Seed of each ; the Season and Man- ner of collecting the Seed, the Manner of Preserving and Sowing it, and also the Manner of Managing the Young Plants until fit to plant out; the Trees being arranged in Alphabetical Order, and the List of them, including those of America a3 well as those of England, and the English, French, and Latin name being prefixed to the Directions relative to each Tree respectively. — This work takes every tree at ITS SEED, and carries an account of it to the cutting down and converting it to its uses.— W. C. A TREATISE ON COBBETT’S CORN. COBBETT S CORN-BOOK (Trice 5s.) ; or, A Treatise on Cobbett's Corn, containing Instructions for Propagating and Cul- tivating the Plant, and for Harvesting and Preserving the Crop, and also an Account of the several Uses to which the Produce is applied, with Minute Directions relative to each Mode of Applica- tion. This edition I sell at 5s. that it may get into numerous hands. I have had, even this year, a noble crop of this corn ; and I under- take to pledge myself, that this corn will be in general cultivation in England in two or three years from this time, in spite of all that fools and malignant asses can say against it. When I get time to go out into the country, amongst the labourers in Kent, Sussex Hants, Wilts, and Berks, who are now more worthy of encourage- ment and good living than they ever were, though they were always excellent, I promise myself the pleasure of seeing this beautitul crop growing in all their gardens, and to see every man of them once more with a bit of meat on his table and in his satchel, instead of the infamous potato. — W.
