John Worlidge (16401700) was a noted agriculturalist considered a great expert on rural affairs and one of the first British writers on that subject to discuss the importance of farming as an industry. Worlidge In Vinetum Britannicum advocated the production of cider over that of wine in Great Britain because it was better suited to the climate and resources. There are chapters on the cultivation of fruit and production of drinks from fruit, including wines, with the largest section devoted to cider, plus the medicinal properties of varions drinks. The last section is a Catalogue of Fruits containing the names of many which are no longer available. See: James Gabler, Wine into Words, page 315; H.

He was considered a great expert on rural affairs, and one of the first British agriculturalists to discuss the importance of farming as an industry. The book treats of improvements in general, of enclosing meadows and pastures, and of watering and draining them, of clovers, vetches, spurry, Wiltshire long-grass (probably that of the meadows of Salisbury), hemp, flax, rape, turnips etc. A Persian wheel was made by his direction in Wiltshire, in 1665, that carried water in good quantity above twenty feet high, for watering meadows, and another near Godalming in Surrey. Sowing clover and other seeds preserved the cattle in the fatal winter of 1673, in the southern parts of England; whereas in the western and northern, through defect of hay and pasture, the greater part of their cattle perished. Hops enough were not planted, but we imported them from the Netherlands of a quality not so good as our own. The authors he chiefly quotes are Weston, Hartlib, and Blith. Worlidge's system of husbandry collected information published during the period of the Commonwealth. The work went through a number of editions and was important for many years.].

Zustand: A very good copy. Edition : Second edition., Contemporary full calf rebacked expertly in 6 compartments of raised bands, gilt lettering on two and four. , ?Systema Agriculturae or the Mystery of Husbandry discovered was first published in 1669, and went through a number of editions (1675, 1681, 1687, 1716) before it was supplanted in popular favor by the numerous agricultural reference books which are a feature of the eighteenth century. He appears to have carefully studied the writings of his predecessors, Fitzherbert, Sir Richard Weston, Robert Child, Walter Blith, Gabriel Plattes, Sir Hugh Plat, and the anonymous writers whose works were published by Samuel Hartlib. His system of husbandry may be regarded as gathering into a focus the scattered information published during the period of the Commonwealth?
