As Lord Northbrook observes in his preface to Agriculture :

Theoretical and Practical (Crosby Lockwood and Son, 6s. net), there is still room for a trustworthy text-book on mixed farm- ing. The authors of this work are well-known experts on the subject. Professor John Wrightson was for long President of the Agricultural College at Downton, and Mr. J. C. Newtham is Principal of the Monmouthshire Agricultural Institution. Their aim is "to present a concise view of the practice of agriculture, both from an extensive and an in- tensive point of view."—Another practical work is The Principles and Practice of Judging Live Stock, by Carl Warren Gay (Macmillan and Co., 6s. 6d. net). The author is Professor of Animal Industry in the University of Pennsylvania.
