A Hundreth Good Pointes of Husbandrie
Excerpt from A Hundreth Good Pointes of Husbandrie
Dr. Mavon has announced his intention of giving to the public a new edition of the present once popular work of Tus ser, collated with the various editions which passed the press in the Sixteenth Century, and afterwards. For these editions were not confined to the time of the author's life, who died very aged, as early as 1580. Mr. Walter Scott has given, in the Third Volume of the Somers Tracts, a copy of the edition of I 599 by Peter Short. The present reprint of the first edition of I 557, which exhibits the prima stamina of this work, is o 'ered to the curious reader for the purpose of affording a com parative view of the progress of the author's mind, and of a production which was once probably in the hands, or com mitted to the memories of almost all the country-gentlemen, and others connected wsth husbandry, in the kingdom. The original consists of seventeen leaves, which are now given in ten. So very greatly was it enlarged in subsequent impressions.

A charming Tudor agriculture and gardening book which contains verses to help people with cultivation (husbandrie) through the year- "if pasture by nature is given to wet, then bear with the molehill, though thick it be. That lambe may sit on it, and so to sit drie, or else to lie by it, the warmer to lie." February v18
