Excerpt from New American Farm Book This work was originally written by Richard L. Allen, then one of the editors of the "American Agriculturist." It was published in the year 1846, the first and only complete work of kindred character in this country, down to that time. It was an able compilation of valuable matter, some portions of it then existing in various miscellaneous publications of the day, crystalized, and brought into available shape, through the industry of its experienced author. The volume - then among the best agricultural books of the day, and upon subjects less investigated and studied than now - had a wide circulation, and met with general approval by those competent to judge of the topics on which it treated. It was a work of ability, of laborious research, and study; but, like similar books in a rapidly progressive age, has had its day.
