Minutes, experiments, observations, and general remarks, on agriculture, in thesouthern counties; a new edition. To which is prefixed a sketch of the Vale of London, and an outline of its rural economy: now first published. London: printed for G. Nicol; G. G. and J. Robinson; and J. Debrett, 1799. xxiii(1), 414; xi(1), 387(5) p. + two double-page plans, three double-page plates, a folding table, and a leaf of bookseller's advertisements at the end of Vol. I. Two vols., 8vo, contemporary tree calf, gilt, spines gilt (rubbed, some wear to spines and corners). First edition thus; a substantially reworked version of two titles published in 1778 and 1779, together with a new section of the Vale of London. William Marshall was one of the most important agricultural writers of the late 18th and early 19th century, but he remained something of an outsider, both in his own mind and in the view of his contemporaries. In the early 1790's he suggested the formation of a Department of Rural Affairs, and a national survey of farming; both ideas were appropriated by Sir John Sinclair, who was instrumental in the establishment of the Board of Agriculture in 1793, and in the vast project of county reports which quickly followed. Marshall, however, was only marginally involved in these efforts, and his comments upon them inevitably show a certain amount of resentment. Later critics tend to find Marshall's writings less appealing than those of Arthur Young from a purely literary point of view, but superior in many ways with regard to careful observation and practical advice. Complete with two double-page farm plans, three double-page plates of agricultural implements, and a folding table; in this set, four leaves of preliminaries from the first volume are duplicated in the last signature of Vol. II (where they were originally imposed).

First edition. The first in a series of five volumes, published over a period of ten years, in which Marshall analyzes, with great reservations, the survey of British agriculture carried out by the Board of Agriculture. Marshall said of these reports that, "seeing the magnitude of their bulk and the comparative smallness of the useful matter they contain, [they] may well be deemed a heavy tax o the time, if not the purse, of the agricultural public." Faint waterstains in the lower gotters, some light browning, but a very good copy, entirely uncut. Fussell II, p. 119; Perkins 1144. Price: GBP 150.00 other currencies order no.
