Between 1787 and 1798, the agricultural writer and land agent
William Marshall (1745 1818) published a number of works on the
rural economies of England, covering Norfolk, his native Yorkshire,
Gloucestershire, the Midlands and the South. This two-volume study
appeared in 1796 and investigated the farming, geography, public
works and produce of districts in Devon, Somerset, Dorset and
Cornwall. Volume 1 looks in detail at West Devon, the eastern parts
of Cornwall, and the South Hams. The coverage includes aspects of
the laws surrounding land ownership, farming implements peculiar to
the areas, woodland management, orchards and the production of
fruit-based liquors. The result is a richly detailed survey of the
area in the Georgian period and an important record of rural and
agricultural life, so often overlooked by other contemporary
chroniclers."
