Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. Illustrated by Tull, William (illustrator). First Edition. Signed and dated, without inscription, by William Tull upon first blank leaf. "There are those who would vainly try to categorize William Tull [1924-2000] as a Southwestern painter - or even as a contemporary classical impressionist. It is true that many of his paintings use the southwest as subject and background; and many do evoke the architecture and spirit of the Pueblo Indian as man in harmony with the earth. On very broad terms he belongs to the school of American Impressionists. But still, you can't categorize Tull, nor his paintings. So critics and laymen alike are left, quite simply, with this: the sheer, unadulterated joy of experiencing the vitality and robustness of life in a Tull painting." - Bill Byron. 117 unnumbered pages.

Second Cobbett edition, following the first of 1822; Tull's pioneering treatise on agriculture was first published in 1731. Tull invented the horse-drawn seed drill and the horse hoe and promoted improved methods of soil cultivation. His innovations reduced the need for manual labour and lowered the amount of seed required. Though adoption was gradual, his work laid important foundations for the later mechanisation and rationalisation of crop production. The agrarian reformer and radical William Cobbett applied Tull's principles to his own 500 acres; "With his energy and vision, his heavy capital outlay, use of machinery, and understanding of scientific crop-rotation and stock-breeding, Cobbett was one of the new race of enlightened, liberal 'high farmers'" (Sambrook, p. 62). Cobbett called the work, "that Book of all Books on husbandry, the work of Jethro Tull, to the principles of whom I owe more than to all my other reading and all my experience" (cited in Sambrook, p. 99). This edition of 1829 is textually the same as that of 1822, but is in larger type, resulting in 466 compared to 332 pages. James Sambrook, William Cobbett, 1973. Octavo (226 x 137 mm).
