Abstract
IN this brochure, M. Italo Giglioli, Professor of Agricultural Chemistry at Portici, has collected together a large amount of information upon agricultural education and agricultural research as carried out in the United Kingdom. A similar work upon the teaching of agriculture throughout Europe, by the same author, appeared last year. It is, however, noticeable that the volume on English agricultural education is three times the bulk of the earlier effort. M. Giglioli, as a foreigner, has considered our methods worthy of a much more detailed Report than those of the Continent. This can only be regarded as a tribute to the excellence of English agriculture. We have heard a great deal of late upon the small amount of interest taken in agricultural education in England compared with Continental countries. An Italian Professor finds material for a portly volume on our systems of agricultural education and research, while he is able to compress his information upon the German, French, and Hungarian systems into a pamphlet of comparative thinness.
