Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Manures: From the Recent Publication of the British Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge

The British Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, was established about the year 1825, for the purpose of furnishing a series of books in various branches of science, better adapted to the wants of the public than the old treatises, or the compilations by authors but little acquainted with the subjects which they endeavored to discuss.

The Society published a series of maps, and various treatises upon Natural Philosophy, History, Mathematics, and other subjects. To these treatises the general title of Library of Useful Knowledge was given, and in the course of their publication it was found expedient to issue works of a different character, especially adapted to the agricultural interests, and to this portion of the "Library" the title of "The Farmer's Series" was given. Among the works in this department were published Youatt's works on the Horse - Cattle - Sheep - and the Dog ; treatises on British Husbandry, Flemish Husbandry, and the present treatise on Manures, all of which acquired a wide-spread reputation.
