The Principles of Agriculture

Abstract

THIS little book is essentially a note-book of lectures given by the author, at the instance of the Technical Education Committee of the Derbyshire County Council, to schoolmasters and others intending to become teachers of agriculture. The syllabus covers the ground usually gone over in such a course, the arrangement of subjects being somewhat similar to that adopted by Fream in his well-known “Elements.” The book contains, in a small space, a good deal of information, and, at the same time, indicates points with which the student should make himself acquainted, but which could not be given in detail in a work of this kind. It seems to be carefully written, and, on the whole, very free from errors; it will, no doubt, be a useful guide both to teachers and students of agriculture.
