This volume offers to scholars of 18th-century social, economic,
and cultural history an annotated listing of more than a thousand
titles written at the time on agricultural theory, experimentation,
and practice. Arranged into 26 topical sections, the titles pertain
to subjects ranging from accounts and wages to cattle, chemistry,
gardening, horticulture, grains, grasses, manures, fertilizers,
plants, population, land surveys, trees, and wool. Along with basic
bibliographical information, many entries provide biographical
information on the author and background information on the title.
An introductory essay provides an overview of the literature about
agriculture and of agriculture, showing one more way in which
writers portrayed British and American life from the restoration of
Charles II to the death of George III.
By providing access to a wealth of primary material, the book
will enable scholars to pursue a neglected area of research. Within
topical sections, entries, including both serials and books, are
arranged alphabetically by author or title. Cross-references and
subject and author indexes provide access to titles that fall into
more than one subject area. The bibliographical information given
includes reprint editions and, when available, the original sales
prices, in shillings, thereby enabling scholars to determine the
distribution and popularity of a title.
