This text contains the first volume of a detailed treatise on British farming, with particular focus on its practical and scientific aspects. An interesting and insightful read, this book will be of much value to those with a keen interest in the history and development of British farming, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of antiquarian farming literature. Many antique books such as this are becoming increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing this text here complete with a new introduction on the subject.
