(G We havu rcceived a copy of a Pamphlet, entitled, " An Inquiry into the nnt are r~nd benefits of an Agricultural Sur vey, of~ the State of South Carolina. by John Biachman." It is from the press of Mil!cr ar~d Brown, Charleston. The au thor belongs to a Literary Claib ofgentle mesn, as whose so!!citatiou, the essay pre pred, originzally. for ihe Club alone, has beco published, and a copy sent to sbe Go vrnor, anid to each member of the two louses of the Legislature. The pamphlet is of some length, and enters pretty fully into the subject of which it treats. Other topics of a kindred nature, are also touch ed upon. The essay evinces considerable research anud knowledge of the subject, of wich it treats, and will repay a careful perusaL. Alany of the suggestions are worthy of p-trticultar consideration. The autor recomimnds the establishment of Agricultural Socict ics, Agricultural pa pers, and an A griculhural School, to be en& dowed by the State, or to hosuopported by individual effort. le gives an outline of te studies to be pursued in an institutioni of the character. Whatever may be thought of the policy of establishing such a Stool under State patronage, it is much to be desited that Agriculture should be taught upon acientific principles in our College amid P'ublic Schools, somr.c good woulhl certainly result.
