Henry Stephens (1795 1874) was a farmer and later a writer on
agriculture. After attending lectures on chemistry and agriculture
at the University of Edinburgh he boarded with a Berwickshire
farmer, George Brown, and gained experience of agricultural work.
In 1820 Stephens acquired his own farm, on which he used modern and
experimental farming methods. In 1837 he sold the farm, and devoted
the rest of his life to writing guides to farming for the use of
inexperienced farmers. These influential volumes, first published
in 1842, contain Stephens' detailed descriptions of contemporary
farming practices. He describes in meticulous detail all aspects of
farming, including livestock care and slaughter, dairying,
irrigation practices and crop culture. Arranged by season and
including copious high-quality illustrations of farming equipment,
these extremely popular and fascinating volumes were considered the
standard work on practical Victorian agriculture. Volume 1
describes farming tasks performed in winter.
