About this Item

This fascinating 230-year-old book is in remarkably good condition, with an intact spine, though showing wear on its original leather cover, which is slightly bent, as pictured. Pages have foxing, the title page is cut, and there is writing by a former owner on the next page. The list of subscribers includes George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, with whom Spurrier corresponded. The book describes many details of farming, all in the service of "endeavouring to promote and increase, upon the most rational principles, the real strength and wealth of this commonwealth." Octavo, 360 pages plus index, glossary, subscription list, etc.
