It grieves me very much to know it to be my duty to publish this book; but I cannot refrain from doing it, when I see the alarms and hear the cries of thousands of virtuous families that it may save from utter ruin. I know every thing about the rearing and managing of Trees myself, from the gathering of the Seed, to the cutting-down and the applying of the Trec; and all that I know I have communicated in this Book. It is handsomely printed in 8vo., and the Price is 14s. MARTENS'S LAW OF NATIONS. This is the Book which was the foundation of all the knowledge that I have ever possessed relative to public law; and really I have never met with a politician, gentle or simple, who knew half so much of the matter as myself. I have wanted this book for my sons to read; and monopolizing has never been a favourite with me; if I have ever possessed useful knowledge of any sort, I have never been able to rest till I have communicated it to as many as I could. This Book was translated and published at the request of the American Secretary of State; the Bookseller, though he paid me only a quarter of a dollar (thirteen-pence halfpenny) for every page, had a Subscription from the. President, Vice President, and all the Members of the Two Houses of Congress, and from all the Governors and Lawyers in the country. This Work was almost my coup d'essai, in the authoring way; but upon looking it over at this distance of time, I see nothing to alter in any part of it. It is a thick octavo volume, with a great number of Notes; and it is, in fact, a book, with regard to public law, what a Grammar is with regard to language. The price is 17s., and the manner of its execution is, I think, such as to make it fit for the Library of any Gentleman.

Of this Work, from first to last, Sixty Thousand Copies have been sold; and I verily believe that it has done more to produce real education, as far as correct writing and speaking go, than any book that ever was published. I have received from the year 1820, to the present time, continual thanks, by word of mouth and by letter, from young men, and even from old men, for this work, who have said, that, though many of them had been at the University, they never rightly understood Grammar till they studied this work. I have often given the Reviewers a lash for suffering this Work to pass them unreviewed; but I have recently discovered that the newly-published EDINBURGH EN-A CYCLOPEDIA says of it, that, "for all com"mon purposes, it is the best Treatise we 66 possess, and that it is entitled to super"sede all the popular, and many of the "scientific, productions on the subject of "our language." The price of this book is 3s. in boards. POOR MAN'S FRIEND; or, Essays on the Rights and Duties of the Poor. This is really the most learned Work that I ever wrote; that is to say, learned in the Law. I have entered fully into the matter; and I have brought together all the authorities, from those of Holy Writ down to the present day. I oppose it to the infamous doctrine of MALTHUS.

A TREATISE on CORBETT'S CORN; containing Instructions for Propagating and Cultivating the Plant, and for Harvesting and Preserving the Crop; and also an account of the several uses to which the Produce is applied, with minute Directions relative to each mode of application. These are all drawn from the actual experience of Mr. Cobbett, on his Farm at Barn Elm, lası year (1828). The Book is a neatly-printed Duodecimo. Price 5s, 6d. FRENCH GRAMMAR; or, Plain Instructions for the Learning of French. The notoriously great sale of this Book is no bad criterion of its worth. The reason of its popularity is its plainness, its simplicity. I have made it as plain as I possibly could: I have encountered and overcome the difficulty of giving clear definitions: I have proceeded in such a way as to make the task of learning as little difficult as possible. The price of this book is 5s. in boards. SERMONS.-There are twelve of these, in one volume, on the following subjects :1. Hypocrisy and Cruelty; 2. Drunkenness; 3. Bribery; 4. Oppression ; Judges; 6.

By JETHRO TULL. With an Introduction, containing an Account of certain Experiments of recent date, by WILLIAM COBBETT. This is a very beautiful volume, upon fine paper, and containing 466 pages. Price 15s. 8vo., bound in boards. I knew a gentleman, who, from reading the former edition which I published of TULL, has had land to a greater extent than the whole of my farm in wheat every year, without manure for several years past, and has had as good a crop the last year as in the first year, difference of seasons only excepted; and, if I recollect rightly, his crop has never fallen short of thirty-two bushels to the acre. The same may be done by any body on the same sort of land, if the principles of this book be attended to, and its precepts strictly obeyed. YEAR'S RESIDENCE IN AMERICA. This Work, and the English Grammar, were the produce of Long Island, and they are particularly dear to me on that account. I wrote this book after I had been there a year, during which I kept an exact journal of the weather. I wrote it with a view of giving true information to all those who wished to be informed respecting that interesting country. I have given an account of its Agriculture, of the face of the Country, of the State of Society, the Manners of the People, and the Laws and Customs. The paper is fine on which this Book is printed, the print good, and the price moderate, viz. 5s. PAPER AGAINST GOLD; or, The HISTORY and MYSTERY of the NATIONAL DEBT, the BANK of England, the Funds, and all the Trickery of Paper-Money. This is a new and neat Edition of my chief Political Work, the Work that was received with scoffings and imprecations by the Pretenders to Statesman-like knowledge only about sixteen years ago, which has been gradually increasing in reputation ever since, and which is now daily pilfered by those who formerly sneered at it. Price 5s. COTTAGE ECONOMY; containing information relative to the Brewing of Beer, Keeping of Cows, Pigs, Bees, Ewes, Goats, Poultry, and Rabbits, and relative to other matters deemed useful in the conducting the Affairs of a Labourer's Family; to which are added, Instructions relative to the Selecting, the Cutting, and the Bleaching, of the Plants of English Grass and Grain, for the purpose of making Hats and Bonncts; to which is now added, a very minute account (illustrated with a Plate) of the American manner of making Ice-Houses.

To which is added, a General View of the Finances of the Kingdom. A neat Duodecimo Volume. Price 2s. 6d. To be had at 183, Fleet Street. In the Press. A GEOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY OF ENGLAND AND WALES.-This Work, which has been so long in hand, is now in the Press. It will contain the Name, Situation, &c., of every Parish, and even of every Hamlet; it will contain a description, and an Account of the Country; also of each County; and will, I trust, convey more useful information on this subject, than has ever been conveyed in all other books put together. It is not a book made to flatter fools, nor to hide the doings of public robbers: it is to convey a mass of important truths; its object is to make the English reader well acquainted with all that he need know about his own country. The precise bulk and price of the Book I cannot yet state; but I imagine that it will be a Thick Duodecimo Volume (six or seven hundred pages), and that the Price will be from Eleven to Thirteen Shillings.

TO THE READERS OF THE REGISTER. On the Grand Question, now coming on, relative to the getting rid of the Over-Population. MY FRIENDS, 66 Worcester, 17th May, 1830. LET us have another laugh at the fools and knaves, those who write pamphlets and paragraphs about overpopulation, and those who are their Of the dupes. race _that_write" on such matters, more than nine out of every ten live, or want to live, on the taxes; and those who want to do it, are the keener of the two, just as a young man is more amorous before than after marriage. He loves his wife, of course; but not with so much zeal as he did before she became such. Now, as there are always four times as many expectants of salaries, pensions, sinecures, slices of public property of one sort or another, as there are actual possessors; and, as these are even more zealous than the possessors, the whole number is prodigious; and the way that every one, if he can write at all, gives proof of his merit, is, by writing in defence of the system of taxation; because the hopes of the whole rest upon its ex you will never find them do an act, or say a word, having a tendency (as far as they can judge) to destroy the system of taxation; but, on the contrary, you will find the general tenor of their efforts to be to support it with all their might; and above all things, to cause it to be believed, that it is not the taxes that cause the sufferings that are now perienced. This is the prime object that all these writers have in view; because if it came to be the general belief, that this was the cause of the suffering, it is impossible that the people should not compel the Government to remove the cause; that is to say, to take off the taxes; and that is to say, to cut off the incomes of the place and pension and sinecure possessors, and cut off the hopes of the expectants. Hence, all the zealous efforts of those who write, or make speeches, to persuade the people, that the taxes do them very little harm. Yet something does them great harm. This cannot be denied; poor-rates, paupers, jails, hulks, mad-houses, prostitution, crime, suieides; all these increase at a great rate; and, if the people were left to judge from the evidence of their senses, they would speedily trace the suffering to the right cause; and that would cause the possessions and the hopes of the taxeaters to be cut off. Therefore they labour, as if for their lives, to make the people believe, that the misery arises from some cause other than that of the taxes. For several years the cause was, a sudden transition from war to peace; but this could not last for ever. Next came, the revulsion of trade; but farY |
