1931BIBLIO-51282James Tregaskis & Son London first edition thus 1931. Limited edition of 500 copies. Full calf gilt spine-title 8vo 25cm. xii 2 336 pp ills. A handsome edition containing all that Tusser wrote including a few 'Sonnets' his 'Beliefe' - a metrical creed- 'Posies' for the several chambers of a house a rhymed account of his own life and translations from St. Augustine and St. Bernard. The great majority of these are from Hillmans 'Tusser Redivivus' of 1710 although the text of the 1580 edition has been carefully followed. They are rare and full of curious country lore explanatory of their author and his occasional obscurities. There is a very full glossary of archaic technical and dialect words in addition to copious notes on the text. Kipling prompted this new edition writing of Tusser that "In many ways he is as modem as to-morrowand his incidental verses .are extraordinarily good.What I like about him is that he does not seem to have made much of a success of his own job - whereby he came to know what he was writing about. He was so dead keen to impart his knowledge to his neighbours I dont think he ever thought much beyond his own county that he rammed his maxims into his metre with a sledge-hammer. Foot of spine a trifle rubbed small stain to fore-edge margins of last few leaves otherwise Near Fine in a card slipcase which has a tear along one edge.
