Second edition, with additions. viii, 536, 8, [24] pp. Frontispiece (not in the 1799 first edition, showing a "Fat Ox" and marking the cuts that a London butcher would make from it, naming the cuts) and five engraved plates, some folding. Bordley (1727-1804), a native of Maryland, was a lawyer by profession; in 1793 he established the first agricultural society of the United States in Philadelphia. From his wife's side, he inherited half of Wye Island at the mouth of the Wye River on Maryland's Eastern Shore (her sister, married to William Paca, a signer, owned the other half); Bordley worked a large farm there, the plates illustrating his suggested farm buildings. Sowerby 708 (for the 1799 first edition). Modern leather rebind (rubbed), leather spine label, new endpapers. Some scattered staining and foxing, remains of an ownership stamp on title-page.
