The agricultural division of the Register will be in Five Chapters, corresponding to the

Four Pars and the Karenpar of the Encyclopedia of Agriculture; thus:

Cuap. 1. Historical notices, foreign and domestic. villages, mills, harbors, canals,&c., in drain 1g, embanking

Cuap. 2. New plants or animals taken into field cultivation orca a pees panting, tore% management, dairyi new manures— new or improved implements, machines and renarcing, Corn culture, grazing,&c. buildings— improvements in operations, sowing, reaping, ploughing, threshing,&c., and in general management.

n particular estates—condition of operative agriculturists Obituary.

Cup. 4. Review of books—accounts of improvements ¢

Crap. 3. Improvements in appropriating and enclosing landed estates, in their distribution, in road making, establishing CuHapr. 5. Kalendar prospective and retrospective. The architecture and domestic economy will each occupy one chapter, and the outline of arrangement will correspond to the forthcoming Encyclopedias of these arts now in hand.

A complete general index will be added to each volume.

The advantage of the above arrangement is, that whoever is in possession of the Encyclopedias, and wishes to know what is new since their publication, will be able at once and with ease, to refer to the corresponding part of the Fiegister.

Engravings will be introduced where useful; a moderate sized type employed, and each year’s volume regulated as to bulk and price, not by the number of pages necessary to make a volume of regular size, but by the quantity of information afforded by the past year. The price may vary from 7s. to 19s. per volume.

The use of the Gardener's Register, if properly supported and conducted, must| obvious. Gardeners, stewards, and others of fixed locality, and at a distance from the metropolis, must in the present state of things, long remain ignorant of improvements made in the horticultural world, and especially of late, since the establish- ment of horticultural societies, the general taste for gardening, and the great stimulus thus given to nurserymen, commercial gardeners, botanical cultivators, private amateurs, and others round the metropolis, and indeed throughout Europe.

By this Register

they will have an opportunity of increasing their knowledge so as to keep pace with the?

progress of improvement; and if they have already made themselves masters of what is in our Encyclopedias of Gardening, Agriculture, Plants, and Domestic Economy, it will not be too much to say, that by regularly perusing the Gardener’s Resister as it is published, they will‘now all that is already known, and be made acquainted with all that is annually added to the stock of knowledge in their art, as well as in the general improvement of landed property, and the amelioration of rural and domestic life.

Those who are disposed to contribute to this work, will, from the above outline of its object and arrangement, be at no loss fora subject. Accounts of new gardens, new country seats, improvements on demesne grounds, or extensive territory, and on cottages and cottage gardens, are particularly wanted. Our foreign friends may address us in French, Italian, or German: if in the latter tongue, the use of the French ckaracter in their letters will be esteemed a favor. All communications to be sent to the care aft Messrs Loneman, Hurst, and Co., Paternoster Row, London.
