Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Methodical Treatise on the Cultivation of the Mulberry Tree, on the Raising of Silk Worms Though M. De la Brousse judiciously adopted a methodical arrangement by dividing his treatise into books and chapters; yet being more of a practical man than an able writer, he fre quently anticipated his matter, and in the first part of 'is pub lication introduced silk-worms and scattered them among his trees. It became, therefore, necessary to correct this improper distribution, to collect his misplaced materials, and to carry them forward to their preper station in the chapters of the second book. All his discursive reflections upon general agriculture, and many of his endless repetitions, l have taken the liberty to suppress, though [have retained a few of these last, for the sake of im pressing some leading precept more strongly upon the mind of the unpractised. But notwithstanding these blemishes, M. De la Brousse has produced a very useful book, and one which entitles his name to be mentioned with respect.
