First edition of the author's magnum opus. The clergyman John Laurence (1668-1732) wrote four books on gardening and husbandry, all based on his transformation of the neglected rectory garden at Yelvertoft. This is his longest and most substantial treatise, providing an extensive system of improving land both for farmers and for gardeners. Laurence argues in favour of enclosure, contending that the practice would both improve tillage and provide employment for the poor. A further edition was printed in Dublin in 1727 by J. Hyde and E. Dobson. ESTC T146573; Goldsmiths' 6436; Hanson 3561; Henrey, pp. 415-24. Folio (350 x 223 mm), pp. [xxiv], 456 [= 452, four page numbers omitted]. Engraved frontispiece, 2 full-page plates and 3 smaller engravings within text, head- and tailpieces, and initials. Contemporary sprinkled panelled calf, raised bands, board edges tooled in gilt, edges sprinkled red. Contemporary ownership signature of one Sam Browne on title page.

First edition of the author's magnum opus, with the bookplate to the title verso of Thomas Hamilton, 6th Earl of Haddington (1680-1735), a pioneer in Scottish agricultural improvement. Hamilton was "one of the first of the Scottish nobles and lairds who improved the amenity of their estates in the eighteenth century with the planting of trees, and who carried out afforestation on a large scale as a form of capital investment" (Henrey). He wrote A Treatise on the Manner of Raising Forest Trees, published in 1761 following his death. John Laurence (1668-1732) wrote four books on gardening and husbandry, all based on his transformation of the neglected garden at Yelvertoft. This is his longest and most substantial treatise, providing an extensive system of improving land both for farmers and for gardeners. He argues in favour of enclosure, presenting it as a step towards improving tillage and pasture farming, and as allowing fencing and ditching. He contends this will be to the benefit of the poor by providing employment. ESTC T146573; Goldsmiths' 6436; Hanson 3561; Henrey 945. Folio (350 x 223 mm). With frontispiece and 2 plates. Contemporary panelled calf, orange morocco label, edges sprinkled red. Head of spine restored, minor superficial splits to joints, neat reinforcement to inner hinges; an attractive, clean copy.
