Abstract
THIS is a pamphlet of extremely closely written matter, which purports to be a lecture delivered on July 27, 1887, to agricultural students in Cirencester College. Viewing it as a lecture we should accord it qualified praise, because a lecture must be regarded as oral instruction, and ought to be sufficiently dilute and sufficiently moist to allow of the process of mental deglutition. The pamphlet is really a treatise upon the effect of fertilizers on the growth of roots and their composition, and it would be presumption on our part to do more than bow respectful acquiescence to each statement made by so learned and so experienced a specialist.
