2775Two folding engraved plates. xvi 427 pp. 8vo cont. calf upper joint with tiny split at foot spine gilt red morocco lettering piece on spine. Edinburgh: printed by A. Donaldson & J. Reid; for the Author and A. Donaldson; sold by A. Millar et al. London 1762. First edition. The author's first book and one of the most important Scottish agricultural treatises of the 18th century. Dickson 1721-76 was a clergyman in Dunse with a strong interest in the techniques of farming. The text here is divided into four parts: on vegetation tillage manures and soil. The underlying principle which runs throughout the book is that English works on agriculture were ill-suited to the soil and climate of Scotland. An expanded version of this work was published in Edinburgh in 1770 in two volumes. A nice copy. ❧ Fussell II pp. 55-56. unknown books

Creech 1788. First edition of the author's most important book; it was published posthumously by one of the author's daughters who has provided here a biography of her father. Dickson 1721-76 wrote a number of practical works on agriculture which described techniques adapted to the soil and climate of Scotland. In the present work Dickson "collects the agricultural processes of the ancients under their proper heads and compares them with modern practice in which his experience renders him a safe guide. The first volume contains accounts of the roman villa crops manures and ploughs; the second treats of the different ancient crops and the times of sowing."-D.N.B. V pp. 943-44. Attractive set. ❧ Fussell II p. 57-Dickson "was able to dispose of some obscurities in Rei Rusticae Scriptores that had puzzled earlier non-agricultural scholars.". unknown books
