    299 x 239 mm. 4to. [ii], 1181-1413, [1 blank] pp. Numerous tables (including 3 folding). Original printed wrappers; top cover lacking. Ex library rubber stamps. Very good. John Bennet Lawes, a pioneer of science, farming and industry, and Joseph Henry Gilbert collaborated for more than fifty years as they built the Lawes's estate of Rothamsted into a world-famous institution of agricultural chemistry. In 1834 Lawes inherited the manor and estate of Rothamsted after studying at Eton and Oxford without taking a degree. Lawes used what he learned from agricultural experiments to produce "super-phosphate" and other products by which he became quite rich. In 1889 Lawes put Rothamsted under the control of the Lawes Agricultural Trust, with an endowment of £100,000, so that its work would not cease with his death. "In 1843 he started on a regular basis the Rothamsted agricultural experiment station; and in June of that year called to his aid, as coadjutor and technical adviser, Dr. (afterwards Sir) Joseph Henry Gilbert. Together Lawes and Dr. Gilbert instituted and carried out a vast number of experiments of enormous benefit to the agricultural community at large, the details of which were recorded in the 'Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society,' the Journals of the Chemical Society and of the Royal Agricultural Society, and other publications. Two main lines of inquiry were followed - the one relating to plants, the other to animals. In the former case the method of procedure is described in the official 'Memoranda' in which it was shown how endeavours had been made 'to grow some of the most important crops of rotation, each separately, year after year, for many years in succession on the same land, without manure, with farmyard manure, and with a great variety of chemical manures, the same description of manure being as a rule applied year after year on the same plot. Experiments on an actual course of rotation without manure and with different manures were also made: 'wheat, barley, oats, beans, clover and other leguminous plants, turnips, sugar beet, mangels, potatoes, and grass crops having been thus experimented on. The main object of the experiments on animals (commenced in 1847) was to ascertain how they could be most economically fed for human consumption ; but incidentally information of great value was obtained towards the solution of such problems as the sources in the food consumed of the fat produced in the animal body, the characteristic demands of the animal body (for nitrogenous or non-nitrogenous constituents of food), in the exercise of muscular power, and the comparative characters of animal and vegetable food in human dietaries."

Itzik Manger (30 May 1901, Czernowitz, then Austrian-Hungarian Empire, later Romania and now in the Ukraine - 21 February 1969, Gedera, Israel) was a prominent Yiddish poet and playwright. His father, Hillel Manger, was a skilled tailor who loved literature, which he referred to as 'literatoyreh' (a portmanteau of the Yiddish words literatura and Toyreh). Manger attended the Kaiser Königlicher Dritter Staats-Gymnasium, where he studied German literature until he was expelled for pranks and bad behavior. Thereafter his education was at the Yiddish theatre's backstage. In 1921, Manger began publishing his early poems and ballads in several new literary journals founded in the aftermath of World War I. Soon afterwards, he settled in Bucharest and wrote for the local Yiddish newspapers while giving occasional lectures on Spanish, Romanian, and Gypsy folklore. In 1927, Manger came to Warsaw, the spiritual and intellectual center of Ashkenazi Jewry and remained there for the next decade, which became the most productive period of his entire career. In 1929, Manger published his first book of poetry, Shtern afn dakh (Stars on the Roof) to critical acclaim. He became famous. Between 1929 and 1938 he gave frequent readings of his own poetry at the Writers' Club, was interviewed by all the major Warsaw Yiddish papers, published articles in the prestigious journal Literarishe Bleter (Literary Pages), issued his own literary journal called Chosen Words filled with his poetry, fiction, and artistic manifestos. At the same time, Manger continued to publish his own works, including a series of modernist poems inspired by the Oral Torah, a series of fictional vignettes on the history of Yiddish literature and three more volumes of poetry. His works secured Manger his international reputation. With widespread anti-Semitism in the highest levels of Polish government and society, Jewish life in Warsaw became increasingly dire, so Manger left for Paris in 1938. But Paris was not safe for long. In 1940 he fled to Marseilles, Tunis, and then to Liverpool, and finally moved to London. He became a British citizen and remained there, unhappily, for 11 eleven years. Disillusioned and unproductive, Manger immigrated to Israel in 1958, and he remained there until his death. In Israel he achieved success. In 1965, Dov Seltzer directed a highly popular production of Manger's Songs of the Megillah which set a record in Israeli theatre with 400+ performances. When he died in 1969, Manger was mourned as an Israeli national poet. Romanian Jewish playwright Israil Bercovici adapted a collection of Manger's poems into a two-act stage piece, Mangheriada, which premiered 6 April 1968 at the Romanian State Jewish Theater in Bucharest. Manger's poem "Oyfn veg shteyt a boym" has been set to music and has entered the repertoire of Yiddish song. . .
