Observations in Husbandry
Lisle, Edward

Published by Hughs and others, London (1757) Second edition, complete in two volumes with folding frontis in vol 1. Contemporary calf with morocco label to volume 1, missing from volume 2. Leather with some scuffing and wear. Boards still in place, worn to the edges and corners. Ex ref library, with plates to the inner covers, stamps verso of the title page, else clean and tight internally. An exceptionally broad survey dealing with all aspects of farm management from manure and manuring, ploughing, sowing, various types of produce and their storage, as well as the care and propagation of various farm animals, gardens and their weeds, etc. 18th-century classics of English husbandry. Lisle (1666?-1722), who lived at Crux-Easton in Hampshire and had estates in Wiltshire and in the Isle of Wight, assiduously gathered information from the leading farmers of all aspects of husbandry. While not an innovator but an intelligent and careful observer.

MY GRADINGS

New: A new book, never used.

As New (AN): Although a used book, it should appear unread with no flaws, just as when it was sold new.

Fine (F): Should have no flaws, a perfect copy of a used book. Mint: Another term for Fine.

Near Fine (NF): May show a small flaw, such as shelf wear, but nearly perfect and unread.

Very Good (VG): The broadest category for used books, this describes any average used book. May have small flaws, and has probably been read, but should appear overall clean and attractive.

Good (G): Will probably have significant wear or damage, although is still intact. Suitable for reading, but not necessarily a good gift copy. The old saying in bookselling is \"good ain\'t good.\"

Fair: Another term for Poor or Reading Copy: Heavily worn or damaged, a poor book will be readable but not attractive. Binding Copy: This may or may not be the complete pages of the book, but the binding has been broken or damaged to the point it will need professional rebinding

OTHER INSTRUCTIONS - If paying with a cheque or postal order please make payable to \'A BROWN\' and not blofieldbooks. Payment to be made within 3 days of purchase unless otherwise advised to avoid an \'unpaid item\' case being opened. I am pretty flexible, so if you want to purchase and pay when payday comes around just let me know.

RETURNS - If you are unhappy with your purchase please contact me before returning. Items returned must be with the original packaging, especially if returning due to being damaged in the post, as this may need to be inspected by the relative postal company.
