pp. v, (3), (5)-224. Text beginning to brown but not brittle. Light dampstain. New marbled endpapers. 12mo. 180 mm. Rebound in brown cloth. Leather spine label. Hardbound. Very Good. 'Squire' Job Roberts (1757-1851) was a remarkable man of Welsh Quaker decent. He was born, lived, and died in Whitpain, close to Gwynedd, and for many years he was one of the most conspicuous figures in the farming, business and social circles of Gwynedd. He did much to improve the methods of farming, planted hedges, introduced the feeding of green fodder to cattle, instead of grazing, built a barn which was enormously large, according to the usual standard, and very early introduced the use of gypsum on fields. He was one of the first in Pennsylvania to introduce and breed Merino sheep, and during the movement to establish the manufacture of silk he was one of its most zealous promoters. In 1791, Gov. Mifflin appointed him a justice of the peace, and he continued as such until 1820, when he resigned and returned to farming and other entreprenureal pursuits. S&S/AI 7203; Sabin 71898; Rink 1148.
