This brief volume has been written in the hope that it may serve to arouse and stimulate interest in the achievements and vicissitudes of English agriculture, and that it may induce the reader to make acquaintance with some of the authoritative works of which a list (by no means exhaustive) is given at the end. This look at historical england is in its complete and unabridged original form, extensively illustrated and full of insights that are as fascinating and illuminating today as it was when originally published. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
