SYNOPSIS: At the very heart of this "Eastern Tale" is an interesting conversation between a Brahmin (Ibrahim) and a Muslim (Zadah) on issues of faith vs. scientific/material reason, whence the subtitle of the book "The Sceptic Convinced - an Eastern Tale." Ibrahim has traveled the world as a merchant and been swayed to the rational enlightened, scientific thinking of the West and is somewhat mourning his loss of faith. Zadah presents counterbalancing arguments from his own unfloundering faithful perpective on divinity. A most interesting and curious tale constructed by an Englishman Thomas Wright, whose exposure to Eastern and Near Eastern culture and philosophy is unrecorded. PROVENANCE: John Alexander Binns, c.1761â"1813, American agriculturist, b. Loudoun co., Va. He was one of the first to experiment with gypsum as a fertilizer and to convince others of its efficacy. Partly through example and partly through his pamphlet, Treatise on Practical Farming (1803), what came to be known as the Loudoun system of soil treatment spread rapidly throughout Virginia and Maryland and ultimately into other states. In the 1780s Virginia farmers in Loudoun County, Virginia were having trouble with degrading agricultural production from their over-farmed lands. Binns was not inclined to move westward, so explored rejuvenating the soil. He learned of the use of gypsum and clover for that purpose. In 1780 he began his experiments, using not only the gypsum and clover and also practicing deeper ploughing and rotating crops. As his methods began to produce greater yields, he purchased other worn-out farm properties and in some few years was profiting from his application of enhanced farming methods, which he passed along to his neighboring farmers by milling and selling gypsum. In 1803, he authored a volume detailing his methods titled A Treatise on Practical Farming, By John A. Binns Of Loudoun County, Virginia, Farmer. It was published at Frederick-Town, Maryland, and printed by John B. Colvin, Editor of the Republican Advocate, 1803. Thomas Jefferson was impressed with Binn's Treatise and sent copies to Sir John Sinclair, the head of the English Board of Agriculture and Mr. William Strickland also on the Board of Agriculture of England.
