In order to remedy this inconvenience, it is proposed to publish a series of distinct and concise tracts explanatory of the best established principles and the most approved practices of husbandry. Every attempt to extend the diffusion of agricultural knowledge will, it is presumed, obtain the approbation and support of all those who have the real welfare of their country at heart, and consider the augmentation of the soil an object of great national importance. A more general acquaintance with the principles of agriculture would supply the cultivators of the soil with a store of agreeable and useful information, facilitate the general adoption of the most approved practices of husbandry, and suggest experiments which might be prosecuted at a very trifling expense, and lead to discoveries in Agriculture not only profitable to the Farmer, but important even to the community at large. Tracts on the following subjects are now in the course of preparation. ESSAY on the Supposed Advantages of a SINKING FUND. Part the First. By LORD GRENVILLE. 8vo. IV.

MURRAY HAS THE FOLLOWING WORKS VERY NEARLY READY FOR PUBLICATION. I. MR. MURRAY has to announce that THE SOCIETY FOR THE DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE have entrusted to him the publication of a NEW SERIES of their Works, the character of which is thus described in the Annual Address of the Committee : "Much of the reading usually gone through for mere amusement, might be made a source of great improvement; a series of Works is therefore preparing, to be called The Library of Entertaining Knowledge. It will combine the two objects of instruction and amusement, comprising as much entertaining matter as can be given along with useful knowledge, and as much knowledge as can be conveyed in an amusing form.". THE LIBRARY OF ENTERTAINING KNOWLEDGE will be published in Sixpenny Numbers, and in Volumes at Four Shillings each, in boards. The Works of which it will consist will be complete in themselves, and independent both of each other, and of the Treatises of the Society. The number and excellence of the ILLUSTRATIONS will materially add to the attractive character of these Volumes. The Publication will commence on the First of November next. II. The FARMER'S LIBRARY, or a Series of Tracts on Farming, Gardening, and Domestic Economy. A number of excellent publications have, from time to time, appeared in this country, elucidating the general principles and pointing out the most approved practices of Agriculture. From these valuable sources the Agriculturists of this country have drawn much useful information upon the various branches of the art in which they are more immediately engaged.
