Item description from seller

8vo. pp. xxii, [6]contents, 224. contemporary mottled calf, gilt back (tail of spine chipped, front cover detached, rear joint cracked & rear flyleaf wanting). Second Edition. Madden's treatise, originally published in 1738, was re-printed, with a new preface by 'R.E.M.', at the expense of the philanthropist, Thomas Pleasants. "In this remarkable work the low condition of the country is ascribed to the extravagance and idle dispositions of the people. Madden recommended that criminals, instead of being executed or transported, should be employed in manufacturing hemp and flax in workhouses; that itinerant husbandmen should be encouraged to travel through the country, in order to give instruction to farmers; and that schools and professorships of agriculture should be established in the principal towns." (DNB) Kress B.6742. Goldsmiths' 21383.
