Prima edizione francese che presenta in prima edizione le aggiunte di Molard, di questo importante trattato del grande politico ed economo inglese Thomas William Coke, I conte di Leicester (Londra, 6 maggio 1754 - Longford, 30 giugno 1842). L'autore divenne celebre per la rivoluzione agricola che impose alle sue estese proprietà agricole nel territorio del Norfolk che ebbero un tale impulso sulla produzione agricola da esser da molti paragonata agli effetti produttivi avuti della rivoluzione industriale sulla produttività inglese. Uomo di grande ingegno fu anche un appassionato bibliofilo. La sua opera è considerata come una delle principali della storia dell'agricoltura moderna. Questa edizione francese si avvale delle aggiunte di Molard che fu "Saggio emerito de l'Ecole Polytechnique, Direttore del Conservatorio Reale di Arti e Mestieri e membro onorario del Comitato consultivo delle Arti e Manifatture. L'opera, in questa prima edizione francese è arricchita di 8 belle tavole più volte ripiegate con immagini di innovative macchine agricole. Il volume oltre a trattare delle migliori tecniche di irrigazione ed al funzionamento di numerosi nuovi macchinari descrive anche la migliore organizzazione dei giardini e tratta anche dell'allevamento delle pecore. Numerosi poi sono le parti dedicate all'influenza delle nuove tecniche agricole sull'economia dei paesi che la applicano. Esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione e assai poco comune.

First Edition, [iv],106,[2]pp., disbound. The introduction of the enclosure act had a damming effect on the lower classes, as the author of this pamphlet implies: "to increase the estates of the great proprietor and the church, leaving the poor man even without the 'common right' for his cow, or the few yards of ground whereon to grow his vegetables, which had previously afforded him the means of rearing his little family". He then sets out to illustrate the example been carried out by Richard Westbrook Baker on the estates of Sir Gerard Noel Noel in Rutland. Here Baker had formed 'The County of Rutland General Friendly Institution' with an aim to ameliorate the condition of the poor, by means of the small allotment system, child education, and the benefit of the Stamford and Rutland Infirmary.

Integrated development of rural India is one of the challenging tasks before the Government of India. Community Development Block is a rural area earmarked for administration and development. It is administered by a Block Development Officer. The block covers several gram panchayats, local administrative units at the village level. There are 6311 Community Development Blocks and 240,561 Gram Panchayats. As per census report, about 72.2 per cent of the population lives in 638,588 villages.

However, new challenging demands have emerged calling for more integrated rural information. Acute shortage of basic facilities such as drinking water, medical support, education infrastructure is still felt in the face of over 27 per cent of rural population who are still facing poverty and essential sustenance.

A Weimar-period response to growing numbers of attacks on kosher slaughtering, this booklet includes illustration on shehitah (kosher slaughtering) and addresses the subject from the both religious perspective and from the perspective of animal rights. The title-page further describes is as "eine gemeinverständliche Darstellung von Rabbiner Dr. J. Unna, Mannheim (a basic understanding by rabbi Unna).
