FIRST EDITION, uniformly a little toned and occasionally spotted, folding plate with a small marginal tear, no loss; pp. lii, [4], 355 (i.e. 335), [1, errata], 1 folding plate; contemporary full panelled calf, alternately speckled and plain, spine on raised bands, red label; scratch to the upper cover, corners and spine ends bumped with some small loss to the foot of the spine, withal an attractive copy.

An attractive copy of this early treatise. See: G. E. Fussell and H. Fyrth, 'Eighteenth-century Scottish Agriultural Writings.' History, vol. 35, no. 123/124, 1950, pp. 4963. (ESTC: T33425; Gilbert A13).…
