520 |a Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. description: First edition. Arthur Young, "like Jethro Tull, was a great agricultural reformer whose influence reached far beyond his own country. England, however, with its increased acreage of cultivated land resulting from the enclosure system, and the consequent rise of great landowners and farmers in the eighteenth century, expecially welcomed innovations in agricultural methods ... Arthur Young applied statistical methods to the study of agriculture, investigating both the statistics of production and the costs of this particular industry. He obtained his information from a series of extensive tours in England, Ireland, and France, where he studied the state of agriculture at first hand. These journeys resulted in the publication of about two hundred and fifty books and pamphlets setting out his ideas and theories. The main points in his programme were: the correct rotation of crops, a maximum net production of agricultural produce, the investigation of the chemistry of soils, which he undertook with the help of Joseph Priestley, the increase of the fertility of soild by the use of artificial fertilizers, the improvement of stock-breeding, the establishment of larger farm units, security of tenure, and the improvement of the road system. In short, he introduced many new and scientific ideas into agriculture and farm amangement." from "Printing and the Mind of Man", 214.
