About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Rural Magazine and Literary Evening Fire-Side Vol 1 No 2 by Various. Read by LibriVox Volunteers This is the second issue of a monthly agricultural magazine for the year 1820. From the introduction: "A leading object of the Rural Magazine will be to furnish correct views of the science of Agriculture, and the various improvements which are daily made or suggested in it. For this purpose the best and most recent European works on the subject will be consulted, and selections made from the American newspapers that are devoted or friendly to the cause. The best information on the subject will thus be condensed in a form less unwieldy than a newspaper, and more popular than in scientific books. We also expect original papers from our agricultural friends, being confident that there is much in the farming of our neighbouring counties, well worthy of being widely known and imitated." ( Magazine Editors) - Summary by Larry Wilson
