THE SOUTHERN GARDENER AND RECEIPT
HOOK.
This is the title of a neat littlo volume, of 330
pages, by our industrious fellow townsman, Mr. P.
Thornton. It is an elegantly printed book, in em.
bossed binding, and handsomely lettered. Its con.
tents cannot fail, we think, to be valuable and interesting
to every Southern planter an<^ farmer; in.
deed, from the hasty perusal, which wc have beon
able to give its pages, we should suppose that every
family ought to bo in possession of a work of this
kind, for the pnrpose of reference, in any case of
emergency.
Tire work is divided into five parts, the first of
which is devoted to instructions in relation to the
management of a Kitchen Garden. The author's
experience, in this department, admirably qualifies
him for speaking on this subject, and his directions
will, no doubt, be found.highly useful to those who
are fond of the luxuries, which arc to be obtained from
a well cultivated garden.
The remainder of tlio volume contains, under
appropriate heads, a collection of valuable receipts
for cookery, the preservation of fruits and other
articles of household consumption, and also for tlio
cure of diseases. The last item is divided into two
distinct branches, the first of which is devoted to
furnishing remedies for the most common diseases
among men, and will pro?c valuable in many in.
stances, when the immediate attention of a physician
cannot be had, as is frequently the case in our
sparsely settled country. An efficiontrcmedy promptIy
applied, may often save life, or ptfvent a protracted
attack of indisposition, which might follow, if
its application was delayed till medical advice could
be had. The second branch is devoted to receipts
for the cure of diseases and common distempers incident
to horses, cattle, calves, swine, sheep, and
all the animals usual about a farm, and concluding
with a few brief bints as to the caro and management
of stock in the winter. -
Wo havo scarcely ever seen so a largo an amount
of Information on such a variety of subjects, in so
small a space; information too, especially calculated
for our farmers, who have not the leisure to
wade through the many voluntas which have been
written on these various subjects, to get at the pre.
cise knowledge which they desired. The receipts
generally, with the exception of those in the Gardeners
department, have been selected with great
care from the most approved authors, and from those
agricultural works throughout the country, which
are acknowledged to be conducted with the greatest
ability. The author and compiler, has had access
to the best works on the subjects on which his book*
treat.*, and has given us in a small compass, what
may be termed the essence of the whole.
Wo have oflen thought it would bo a valuable acquisition
if some one, who had leisure, would select
from die great mass of receipts and instructions,
wlncli arc wceitiy iteming iroiu mo pioau, uiir?
them, which on trial, should be found to be eminently
useful; and we doubt not, from the great care
and attention which has been bestowed on the
" Southern Gardener and Receipt Book, "that it will
be found precisely to fill this vacuum in the farmera
' library. The Book may be had at the Post Office?

Office, Camden, a new work called the

ffnmtnAnoirfs ivilH Dirpfiinns
|Uer.U..V...V?....u 6 .
for Gardening, containing Instructions
for Working a Kitchen Garden, alphabetically
arranged.
As the author has devoted much of his
! lime and attention to gardening for upward
of twenty years past, and has taken
pains to make the instructions plain and
simple; and this being his third edition on
gardening, he has made some additions
and alterations?so that no family, who is
fond of the comforts of a good garden,
should be without a copy. The time for
sowing and planting is calculated to answer
for Camden and the adjacent country
for thirty or forty miles; but in a southerly
and westerly direction it may answer
double the distance.
The second department contains about
one hundred and twenty receipts in the
cooking department, selected from some
of the best late authors
The third department contains upward
i of one hundred receipts in the household
department, and oihor domestic matters,
very useful-, with an index.The
fourth depai tmenl contains upward
of one hundred valuable receipts on tfye
cure and prevention of diseases incident
to mankind, carefully selected from the
most approred public works.
The fifth department contains nearly
one hundred articles on farriery, and the
diseases incident to horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs, &c., selected from the best late
works. The whole made plain and simnlp.
and necomnanied with an index, al
phabeticafly arranged.
As the author was several months carefully
selecting his receipts and matter, and
has-published no article but such as he
thinks will be valuable and useful, he is
confident the work will prove satisfactory
to all, and mcrl with great demand.
Teems.?The work is printed on fine
