Sobre este artículo
Crosby Lockwood & Son, Ltd., London, first edition, 1950. Cloth, 8vo,. vii, 186 pp, ills. Approximately 350 entries. From the preface: "The eighteenth century was remarkable for the advance that was made in farmìng practicc, and a definite period of that advance lies between the publication of Tull's work and the formation of the Board of Agriculture in 1793 : so the limits to which I have confined myself in this book are justified by external circuinstances.Parallel with the advance in practice was a large increase in the number of books on farming and kindred subjects that was published. ...I have tried to leave out purely botanical works.. my intention has been to catalogue only books on vegetable, fruit, and flower production, however unwarily I may have been seduced by the charms of some that are outside my limits. Smokestaining to top edge of textblock and frontpanel of dustwrapper, offsetting to endpapers from dustwrapper flaps, otherwise Good in a used and somewhat torn and marked dustwrapper.
