FIRST EDITION THUS 1670. Gabriel Reeve (printed signature to Dedication) has essentially plagiarized Samuel Hartlib's A Discours of Husbandrie used in Brabant and Flanders. This was actually written by Sir Richards Weston (see below). Slim 4to, approximately 210 x 150 mm, 8 x 6 inches, pages: [12], 1-34, bound in full panelled calf. Some burning stains and damage with loss to lower corners and foot of spine, 60 mm, 2 inch hairline crack to bottom of upper hinge (rescued from a fire at sometime), small repair to top margin of title page, no loss, title lightly soiled and dusty, name of Richard Weston in ink to top of Dedication page, repair to top margin of A3, no loss, pale staining to outer margins throughout and some staining to endpapers leaving tide marks, front and rear, lower edge on text untrimmed and a few slightly dusty, 2 lower corners repaired, not affecting text, tiny ink crosses to several pages, small ink splash to 2 pages, a few other minor marks. A fair to good copy only. Though the text is basically the same as the Hartlib, at the end there are 2 extra chapters before the last sentence (To make a Rushie Ground bear Grass and For Planting and Sowing Walnuts). See: Mary Aslin, Catalogue of the Printed Books on Agriculture Published Between 1471 and 1840, pages 56-57 and 108, "This is exactly the same book as A Discourse of Husbandrie used in Brabant and Flanders, published in 1650 by Samuel Hartlib, with an additional preface with printed signature of Gabriel Reeve"; G.E. Fussell, The Old English Farming Books, 1523-1730, page 44; Donald McDonald, Agricutural Writers 1200-1800, page 107; W. Frank Perkins, British and Irish Writers on Agriculture, page 115; ESTC No: R33979. "Sir Richard's account of Flemish husbandry was written about 1645, and addressed to his sons from abroad. This was circulated in manuscript, and there is no evidence that it was printed before 1650, when an imperfect copy was published by Samuel Hartlib, with a dedication to the council of state. Hartlib did not at this time know who the author was. The account is the first English description of the use of a farming rotation including turnips and clover to obtain maximum output from heathlands formerly considered of little agricultural value. Although it is not known to what extent Sir Richard emulated on his own estates what he saw in Flanders, he described a farming system that was to become the cornerstone of the English 'agricultural revolution' a century later." - Oxford DNB.

TITLE CONTINUED: and a large, yet faithful offer or undertaking for the benefit of them that will joyn in this good and publick work. Imparted some years ago to Mr. Samuel Hartlib; and now by him re-imparted to all ingenuous English-men, that are willing to advance the prosperity, wealth and plenty of their native countrey. FIRST EDITION 1651, pamphlet. Small slim 4to, approximately 175 x 130 mm, 7 x 5 inches, pages: [4], 14, [2], collation: [4], B-C4, lacking C4 a blank, title page with decorative woodcut border, Errata to verso, bound in later marbled boards, gilt lettered red leather label to spine, endpapers renewed. Boards slightly rubbed, title page slightly trimmed at top and bottom, not affecting printed area, 2 neat corrections and 1 word crossed out (these 3 ink amendments exactly as in the Internet Archive copy, possibly author's hand?), lower margin of C3 trimmed, with loss of catchword. A very good copy. The author recommends industry, urges the fallowing of lands for any crop, and the use of much less seed.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. First. First edition. London: Printed by H. Hills, for Richard Wodenothe, 1651. Quarto (7 1/16" x 5 1/4", 181mm x 134mm). [Full collation available.] Collated complete against the ESTC and the University of Michigan copies. Bound in later calf (re-backed, with the original back-strip laid down). On the spine, five raised bands. Panels gilt. Title gilt to black calf in the second panel. Gilt roll to the edges of the boards. Marbled end-papers. Green silk marking-ribbon. Re-backed (with the original back-strip laid down). With some craquelure and darkening to the edges of the boards. Lower spine-corner dampstain B2-I4, mostly quite mild. A little foxing and tanning to the initials and end-matter, but overall quite a clean copy. Good margins, with several lower deckles preserved. Samuel Hartlib (ca. 1600-1662) was born to an English mother and Polish father, educated in Germany, who moved to England in 1628. He befriended Robert Boyle and John Milton (who dedicated his 1644 On Education to Hartlib), and entered the whirlwind of XVIIc prewar scientific and political advancement in Britain. He eventually came to be a prolific correspondent with many great minds in England and abroad. Once the Civil War came, Hartlib sensibly focused on country pursuits. The year after the present item was published, Hartlib would bring out a second edition of Sir Richard Weston's Discourse on the modes of husbandry (specifically crop rotation) that he had seen in Flanders; this is advertised in the prefatory pages. The Legacie is a series of correspondence; some addressed to Hartlib, some between Hartlib and others and one a public letter. The first has been attributed to Robert Child, one (published) was written by King James VI/I on the cultivation of silkworms, and others to Cressy Dymock. The epistolary collection is a familiar device of the period, and fitting given Hartlib's place as the center of many spokes of curiosity. ESTC R202377, Lowndes 1007, Sabin 30702.
