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'.
The suggested date of issue comes from another copy bound together with an 1812 copy of 'The gentleman and the farmer's pocket companion'.
