Extracts from, and notices of new works.
All new disco"eries in the Sciences and
Arts, us well as interesting papers relating
to either, will be immediately noticed, and
when of sulBcienl interest will be transferred
t > our columns; or such extracts
given as will furn ish full information to
our areders.
In the Agsicultural department, special
attention yvill be paid to the great interests
of the South. From our Planters, we will
endeavor to obtain much practical and
useful information which now lies buried
and known but to themselves-. In order
that we may the more fully and effectually
carry out this part of our plan, we propose
to make frequent excursions into lite
different sections, not only of this, but also
of the adjoining States, for the purpose
of personally inspecting and reporting on
all the various operations which may be
carried on, on the plantation we may visit.
By persuing this plan steadily, (as we
hope to do) much highly useful information
will be obtained, which cannot fail to
be of immense service to the Agricultural
community, inasmuch as our planters will
thus become acquainted with the practio s
of other sections of the country, and mav
from time to time adopt such as may pro-1
mise a greater recompence, than those,!
they may at the time follow. Nor shall
we confine ourselves to practical information
only, but from the rich stores of know-1
ledge which are to be found among our
planters, we hope to draw much which
11 "r..I on.l intarn^limr
Will |)IW>C U3CIUI mail lilltlvauii^i
Horticulture will also claim onr ;?tton-j
tion, and we will endeavor to raise it from
the low estate in which it now exists among
us to one more worthy of if We
will accordingly give not only practical
directions, for the cultivation of fruits,
Flowers and Vegetables, but entering into
the scientific department, we will publish
whatever we may find interesting.?
Descriptions of new fruits, flowers and
vegetables, as well as their culture, will be I
given from time to time. The forcing
department, which is but little attended to,
iu the South, embracing the formation buil
ding and management of hot beds, conservatories
and hot houses will also be attended
to.
Domostic and Rural Economy will not
be neglected, but whatever we can find
likely to promote either, will be given in
our columns.
Sporting Intelligence, Anecdotes. On
Dits, and various miscellaneous matters?
which cannot well be classed, will swell
our pages, and add interest to our periodical.
In furtherance of our object, we will do
all in our power to render this periodical
highly interesting and instructive, and one
which shall be welcomed by every member
of such families as may patonise it.?
To effect this, while we hope to contribute
our share to the Original Literature
of the day, as well as to add considerably
to the stock of Agricultural information,
yet we will freely draw from the sources
open to us, in the numerous daily, weekly
monthly and quarterly publications, which
embracing every subject, abound not only
in America, but also in Eutope, and from
- * _ 11 _ i 4 i.. i.
lliese we Will srieci UIIIJ SUCH uuu ira ns
may prove highly interesting or instructive.
The sources which are open to lis
in each department are ample, and wc
trust we shall be able lo render the South
ern Compendium a highly acceptable visiter
wherever known.
Political and religious discussions will
be excluded, and while we have our preft
retire to b<>th, yet we will not admit of
any thing which may he likely to wound
the feelings of our readers.
We have thus sketched the plan of onr
periodical, and respectfully solicit for it
-?support, "'insrrtguuns aim coniribuiions.
Terms?The Southern* Compendium
will be put listed on the 15th ofach month,
in octavo form of G4 pages, at $5 per annum
payable in advance.
