Extract from a letter to the author from Prof. Mapes, editor of the
_Working Farmer_:

* * * "After a perusal of your manuscript, I feel authorized in
assuring you that, for the use of young farmers, and schools,
your book is superior to any other elementary work extant. JAMES
J. MAPES."

Letter from the Editor of the N. Y. Tribune:

MY FRIEND WARING,

If all who need the information given in your _Elements of
Agriculture_ will confess their ignorance as frankly as I do,
and seek to dispel it as promptly and heartily, you will have
done a vast amount of good by writing it. * * * * * I have found
in every chapter important truths, which I, as a
would-be-farmer, needed to know, yet which I _did not_ know, or
had but a confused and glimmering consciousness of, before I
read your lucid and straightforward exposition of the bases of
Agriculture as a science. I would not have my son grow up as
ignorant of these truths as I did for many times the price of
your book; and, I believe, a copy of that book in every family
in the Union, would speedily add at least ten per cent. per acre
to the aggregate product of our soil, beside doing much to stem
and reverse the current which now sets so strongly away from the
plow and the scythe toward the counter and the office. Trusting
that your labors will be widely regarded and appreciated,

I remain yours truly,
HORACE GREELEY.

New York, June 23, 1854.
