Abstract
THIS text-book is the English edition of a work that has already received high commendation from the Government of Jamaica. The Government of this now prosperous colony, in pursuance of a policy (which may well be followed by other colonies) offered a premium of one hundred pounds for the best text-book of Tropical Agriculture adapted for the use of colleges and higher schools in the colony. The award was made to Dr. Nicholls's manuscript, and after the publication of the work in Jamaica it was adopted also as a text-book by the Government of other colonies, so that its value has been practically estimated beforehand. The author's qualifications for the task he has undertaken may be gathered from the following:—
A Text-book of Tropical Agriculture
By H. A. Alford Nicholls, with illustrations, pp. 312. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1892.)
