Pall Mall Gazette.

"Apart from its own substantial merits, Mr Brown's tall and stout
volume is emphatically a sign of the times. It is a product of a
period of revolution in the ideas and habits of English landowners....
Mr Brown's book offers minute and ample answers to every possible
inquiry which the landowner's ingenuity can suggest."

Saturday Review.

"Mr Brown is always ready with an intelligent reason for whatever,
from the vantage-ground of experience, he takes upon him to recommend.
Indeed there is not a chapter from which any reader may not gain
something.... It is impossible even to glance at a tithe of the useful
information and advice contained in this volume, which will be certain
to be the landlord and the agent's _vade-mecum_."

North British Agriculturist.

"Mr Brown is plain and practical in his remarks; he is evidently a
cautious and sensible land agent, and his valuable work testifies to
his having made good use of his opportunities, his observation, and
his experience."

Economist.

"We can heartily commend this book for the instruction of both
landowners and estate agents. It is full of solid practical knowledge,
clearly arranged and expressed--a repertory of all that is essential
to be known theoretically by the managers of properties."

Bell's Weekly Messenger.

"A work admirably calculated to produce a better state of things, not
only by pointing out to landowners the advantages that must inevitably
accrue to them from their estates being properly cultivated, but by
showing how that object may be attained."
