| Summary: | Niall Kenny description: Scarce; fine copy in original wrappers with printed label; not in Rothamsted or Dingley; in BL but slightly different publishers; they date it to c. 1800 BUT Comben's 1998 catalogue has the identical version to that in BL dated as 1814 from a water-mark; early editions were often bound with Ainslie's 'The gentleman and farmer's pocket companion', but this separate issue seems very uncommon; Fussell claims 1st edition as 1806 (from Perkins' "British and Irish Writers on Agriculture"?); the date of issue here comes from another copy bound with an 1812 copy of 'The gentleman and farmer's pocket companion'. |
