• Title from front and back of item.
• Caption on back : "Agricultural laborer. The Chinese are careful and laborious farmers--and there are numerous and practical treatises, proclamations and pamphlets published, and in general circulation, explaining the minutest details for the cultivation of cereals, cotton , silk, &c., with clearness and precision.--Some of their rules are handed down from antiquity, and are adhered to from generation to generation with a tenacity which cannot be overcome. The Scythe shown is one of European manufacture, but the gardeners employed by foreigners soon become adepts in its use; and although they steadily resist any innovation in their mode of planting and succession of crops, &c., they do not object to using foreign implements to save themselves labour."
