A scientific and technical approach to the design of agricultural equipment, particularly ploughs. Williamson was of the opinion that implements were not well designed, being put together "by guess and by God."

Thomas George Williamson (ca. 1759-1817) served as an officer in the Bengal army of the British East India Company whose career was cut short for publishing in a newspaper his view of military policy. As such, he occupied a liminal position in British India, which allowed him to make rather more interesting observations than many of his co-evals (e.g., Cornwallis). Oriental field sports, first published in 20 parts in 1807 (reissued in 1808, and, per Tooley, "greatly inferior), is, as the long title suggests, an ambitious work that hazards far-reaching observations about Indian natural history, landscape and culture. Samuel Howitt (1756/7-1822) specialized in the illustration of animals; the pochoir (i.e., stencil-painted) title of a recumbent tiger is an emblem of British books on India. Bibliographers do not generally (Abbey notes the Young imprint) record the present edition, which has come to market with imprints of Orme, Young and McLean as here. The watermarks (seemingly to the text only) date to 1817 and 1818. Frank J. Pfister (ca. 1853-1935) established a book-binding firm in New York in the late XIXc, at times working with Alfred William Launder, the Metropolitan Museum's first bookbinder. Cf.

The last leaf of the first volume is cut short by 1cm at the fore-edge. The second volume has damp marking to the upper margin of the Index leaves which, half way through the index, also has a marginal paper repair to one leaf. Again here the foxing and the damp stains are nowhere near any print. There is some Waviness to the central part of the paper and in the case of plate III there is some offsetting of the print onto the sky portion of the illustration and on the blank verso of that plate. The paper of this illustration has a yellowish tint compared to the rest of the plates. The artist and engraver are named with the Edward Orme details given below each of the 40 illustrations and these are all dated 1807 in both volumes. This edition has the first volume titlepage dated Orme 1807 but the second volume titlepage is printed "for H.R.Young" and dated 1819. There are some other signs of use, mainly to the margins but all the lovely, lively hand-colored plates are beautifully and carefully brightly coloured with the plate numbers shown on the upper corner. 1 volume.
