The most advantageous Method of disposing of any Sum from 50L to 20,000L in Husbandry on cultivated or uncultivated Soils. The Means of rendering Agriculture as profitable to Gentlemen, as to common Farmers; and as beneficial a Profession as any other. Hints to those Gentlemen who farm for Pleasure alone. Also, Plans of Farms-yards, and Sections of the necessary Buildings. By the Author of The Farmer's Letters. 10 engraved plates, two of them folding (one with a short tear). First Dublin Edition. Two volumes. 8vo. [217 x 128 x 64 mm].
