complete the FieTE Volume of the CommMERCIAL, AGRI CULTURAL, and MANUFACTURER?’S MAGAZINE.

In the ſucc-Mve Numbers of this, as of the former Volumes, the. favour of INGENIOUS CORRESFONDENTS has enabled us to com- municate many of the moſt valuable, new obſervations, which the experience ef Farmers, Artizans, and Merchants, has continued to add to that knowledge which is dire&ly applied to enlighten‘the produdtve induſtry of the People of this Countrpa—From the Jouä- nals, and other new publications of“ France, and Germany. we have extraRed accounts of ſeveral of the moſt intereſting diſcoveries lately made on the Continent. Several letters of news. have been ſent us, and inſerted, from Britiſh Gentlemen reſident abroad.— The Chronicle of Fas in the Hiſtory of Politics,‘Trade, Huſbandry, Manufadures, the Fine Arts, the Phœnoména of Nature, Morals and Manners,&c.; has been compiled with egual diligence as in the former Volumes; and will afford, even at any diſtant tuture time, the moſt pleaſing entertainment to every ingenions and liberally in- quiſitive mind.— Our Rew/eæ-department has been limited to books on ſubjeâs of Commerce, Agricu!ture, and the Ufſfefal Atts. Of theſe, we have taken much pains to exhibit faithful analyſes, and very can- did, temperate judgments. And in this department, we have lately been enabled to exhibit the moſt vigorous exertion ot talents to which the late EomuxD BuRKre(as Becousfield ſill ſhews), one of the beſt farmers England ever ſaw, muft finally owe the only re- ſpe&able effort that has been tried, to render the example of his LiFe, truely uſeful to future ages.—Of the information which the Public muſt naturally expe& to find in ſuch a Miſcellany as this, there was a large proportion which could not be, in any other forma, exhibited, f advantageouſly as in TaBLeEs. Extenſive Tables of the State of Prices in the Markets,&c. therefore, continue to be inſerted in every ſucceſſive Number of this Magazine; and,-our Readers will, we hope, do us the juſtice‘to own, that they are compiled, wezth great accuracy.

Vet, this Volume does not pretend to include‘all the valuable new information relative even to its proper ſabje&s, which has be- come known in the courſe of its publication. Many new and im- portant fas have, no doubt, eſcaped our notice. Of others we could not obtain ſatisfa@Qory accounts, till it was too late. Some we have been obliged to omit, becauſe, though theſe might be in- tereſting, there were-others ſtill more intereſting, and falling HI inore immediately within our plan, which we were obliged to prefer. And there are many ſuch fas already known to us, which we re- ſerve for early communication in the future ſeriesof our Numbers.

Some of the more learned and ſcientific readers of this Work may cenſure it as containing too many ill-written letters from plain Far- mers and Tradeſmen, which relate but few fa&s, which relate no one fa with due preciſion, and which diſplay prejudices and‘ab- ſurd opinions with a pride and poſitiveneſs not at all inſtru&ive. To ſuch critics, this is our anſwer.—A primary obje in the under- taking of this Magazine, was, to’.invite. Farmers, Merchants, and Axstizans, to a mutual public correſpondence’with one another, and
