“It contains a large mass of information on subjects connected with
the Domestic Economy of Life. In matters of Science and the Arts, the
selections are all from sources of the best authority, and treated
in a clear and familiar manner. As a book of daily reference in the
common concerns of life, its great practical utility will, no doubt,
ensure it a ready introduction, and a favourable reception in every
intelligent family.”
“The able manner in which this work is executed, affords satisfactory
evidence that the editor is thoroughly acquainted with the subject. It
is a valuable _multum in parvo_.”
_Moubray on Poultry, Pigs, and Cows._
2. A PRACTICAL TREATISE on BREEDING, REARING, and FATTENING all kinds
of DOMESTIC POULTRY, PIGEONS, and RABBITS; also, on Breeding, Feeding,
and Managing Swine, Milch Cows, and Bees. By BONINGTON MOUBRAY, Esq.
Sixth Edition, enlarged by a Treatise on BREWING, on making CIDER,
BUTTER, and CHEESE: adapted to the Use of Private Families. Price 7s.
6d. cloth boards.
“This is unquestionably the most practical Work on the subject in our
Language, and the Information is conveyed in plain and intelligible
Terms. The convenience of a small POULTRY YARD—two or three PIGS,
with a breeding Sow, and a Cow for CREAM, MILK, BUTTER, and CHEESE—in
an English Country House, appears indispensable; and to point out
how these may be obtained, at a REASONABLE EXPENSE, seems to have
been Mr. Moubray’s object. He is evidently a good practical Farmer,
thoroughly conversant with Rural Economy in all its branches; his Book
is written in a light, lively, Kitchener style, and, like the works of
that celebrated Gastronome, conveys, at least, as much amusement as
information. Were any testimony wanted, as to its practical utility,
it would be found in the declaration of an eminent Rural Economist,
SIR JOHN SINCLAIR, who pronounces it ‘the best work hitherto printed’
on the subject of which it treats.”—_Farmer’s Journal._

3. THE VILLAGE DOCTOR; or, FAMILY MEDICAL ADVISER, adapted to Domestic
Convenience, and intended for the use of Country Clergymen, Conductors
of Schools, Parents, and Heads of Families. By JAMES SCOTT, Surgeon.
Sixth Edition, considerably improved, price 5s.
⁂ This little work contains such information as may be often wanted
in the hour of need: it is a monitor that points out the remedy in a
moment of alarm; a pilot that directs the progress of diseases with
care; a beacon that shows the shoals upon which health may be wrecked;
and a friend that removes the doubtful anxiety of ignorance, by
explaining the present, and showing the probabilities of the future.
