    sub title: or, essays on the most rational methods of improving estates; accommodated to the soil, climate, and circumstances of England: in which it is clearly demonstrated, that the landed estates of this Kingdom may with certainty, and at a very moderate expence, be increased to double their present value. The method of doing which is clearly pointed out and evinced from undeniable principles, deduced from a series of real practice and experience. Essay first; shewing the improvements that respect the occupier. Essay second; the improvements that respect the land-owner. The whole interspersed with a variety of interesting reflections and observations, on the poor, poor-laws, high prices of provisions, labour, decay of foreign trade, population, corn-trade, bounty on exportation; with rational and proper measures respecting the same.

  abstract: Jonathan A. Hill, bookseller, description: First ediiton of thie popular work which enjoyed a second edition in the same year. Wimpey (1739-1808), "was a protagonist of the new husbandry, but did not like using the horse hoe. He preferred to use his Rotherham plough for inter-row cultivation. After discussing the crops and conditions to which the new husbandry is appropriate he proclaims that 'nonwithstanding all opposition, great as it is, it does advance, though slowly...'. Wimpey attacked Young's theories about pig-keeping and declared that 'All that he [Young] has said is impertinent and useless.' Wimpey believed in small farms because several small farms of the same area as one large on would have a larger gross area of arable land and because farmers' sons and daughters worked harder than labourers." - Fussell, II, page 100.
