Item description from seller

Anonymous (Arthur Young). The Farmer's Letters to the People of England Containing the Sentiments of a Practical Husbandry, on various subjects of the Utmost Importance. To Which is added Sylvae or Occasional Tracts of Husbandry and Rural Oeconomics. Printed for W. Nicoll at the Paper Mill in St Paul's Churchyard. 1767 so true first edition. Many editions followed of this forthright work by the foremost commentator on agriculture of the 18th Century. Externally fully calf binding which is probably original or near contemporary, gilt-stamped and 5 raised bands and red gilt titled label to spine A little loss to base of spine but otherwise in very good order. 8.5"x5" Internally very clean with only contemporary inscription to ffep and a few now clean worm holes to first few pages. Otherwise a nice, clean and tight and complete text. vii preliminaries pp 323. Young was the pre-eminent commentator on agriculture of his day and extolled the virtues of land improvement and enclosure. More of an academic than a practitioner, he lost money on 3 farms and his obsession with farming led his wife to suffer a nervous breakdown and an early death. His eulogy at her funeral consisted of a lecture on the benefits of land improvement! This seems to be an original copy of the first edition and is in very good condition bar a few minor flaws.

Description de la boutique

A small specialist bookseller with a passion for all aspects of the countryside, from farming to natural history, field sports and forestry. Particular fascination with all things to do with the history of the countryside. In searching for countryside gems, I often come across books wholly unrelated to my specialism and am always looking for great homes for these books. We are based in the Derbyshire Peak District and can source specialist books from this area. We also specialise in finding special books for gifts. So, if he special person in your life, or someone you would like to say thank you, has a particular interest and you have a budget, we can find a special book that means something to them. If they love birds and live in Kent, we will find something for you. If their passion is dairy cows, then we can find a book that tells the story of dairy farming in Britain. Working to a budget, we might be able to source a First Edition 'Origin of Species' (a big budget) or the biography of a pioneer in farming, natural history or field sports (a more modest budget). Because we know about books and are well networked, we can make an individual present special and meaningful.

Spécialité

Mainly medium value specialist countryside books, £10-1000 value.
