"The Old English Faring Books" explores the history of English farming,
exploring notable authors and the developments in agriculture that they
were arguably responsible for. Beginning with "Fitzherbert's Boke of
Husbondrye", first published in 1523, this volume explores two hundred
years of farming and farming literature, making it highly recommended
for those with an interest in the history and development of modern
farming techniques. Contents include: "Introduction", "Tudor times",
"The Age of Markham", "The Age of Hartlib", "The Age of Worlidge and
Houghton", "The Age of Richard Bradley", "Bibliography", and "Appendix".
Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.
It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an
affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a
specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.
