THOMAS BARNES. A New Method of Propagating Fruit-trees and Flowering Shrubs: whereby the common kinds may be raised more expeditiously; and several curious exotics increased, which will not take root from cuttings or layers, confirmed by repeated and successful expeience. First edition, 1759. With two engraved folding plates (a bit foxed and slightly worn), octavo, pp 42, scattered foxing.[Blanche Henrey 434. It seems little known; the system must have been well received, as John Rutter mentions it in Modern Eden {1767} - "a very singular method of propagating fruit trees.lately revived by the very excellent gardener Mr Barnes of Elsham"]. [bound with] A COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. A New System of Agriculture; or A Plain and Easy and Demonstrative Method of Speedily Growing Rich: Proving, by undeniable Arguments, that Every Land-Owner, in England, may advance his Estate to a Double Value, in the Space of One Year's Time, together with several very curious instructions how to feed oxen, cows and sheep, to much greater profit than has ever yet been known in England. First edition, 1755. pp 182, lacking a small corner from the last page, without loss of text. [Fussell does not identify the 'Country Gentleman' and is slightly credulous of the claim made on the title page. He notes that there was then no copy in the British Museum.]. [bound with] BENJAMIN STILLINGFLEET. Miscellaneous Tracts Relating to Natural History, Husbandry and Physick, translated from the Latin with notes. First edition, 1759. pp xxx, 230. [Contains Linnaeus Oration concerning travelling in one's own country; Biberg's Oeconomy of Nature; Barck On the foliation of trees; Gedner Of the use of Curiosity; Beyerstein's Obstacles to the improvement of physic; Haffelgren's The Swedish Pan and the author's own Observations on Grasses, which Fussell praises as an important paper. [bound with] FRANCIS HOME The Principles of Agriculture and Vegetation. Second edition 1759. pp viii, 207, the last few pages foxed. [Fussell observes that Home made a very real contribution to agricultural sciences; and Sir John Russell comments -"The book is a great advance on anything that had gone before it, not only because it recognizes that plant nutrition depends on several factors, but because it indicates so clearly the two methods to be followed in studying the problem - pot cultures and plant analysis"]. Generally quite clean and firm internally, though with slight age-toning. Bound in a simple cheap full leather, green and red labels on the spine, rather rubbed but sound, the rear hinge cracking but firm.…
