Here Randall is continuing the Tullian debate. He highlights the advantages of the Tullian system, especially when carried out with the aid of the 'ingenious' implements he has designed. His seed-furrow plough, along the lines of Tull's drill, was criticised as being too complicated and his system of husbandry was described by a fellow agricultural writer John Wynne Baker as 'founded on the labours of others'.

[8], 9-125 pages. Printed upon glossy stock. Numerous black and white reproductions of photos. "This book recounts some of the history of the movement. There has been much change. For example, there were no club leaders initially. Today, leaders accept considerable responsibility and share in much of the decision-making concerning 4-H policy and activities. Likewise, the learning experience of 4-H members now extends far beyond the project, and includes the broad general areas of citizenship and leadership." - Foreword.

In 1777 William Curtis (1746-1799) began to lay out a Botanic Garden at Lambeth Marsh, 'somewhat more than an acre in extent, situated to the north west of the Magdalen hospital'. This enterprise Curtis made known to the public in 1778 with the publication of his Proposals for opening by subscription, a botanic garden, to be called the "London Botanic Garden". He closed this pamphlet with the statement: 'The garden to be opened the 1st of January, 1779.' The garden was duly opened In 1783 "to members of the public at a subscription of one guinea a year and had a library for their use. To stock it Curtis received plants "from his Majesty's matchless collection of plants in the Royal Gardens at Kew," from the Chelsea Physic Garden and from the private gardens of Pitcairn, Fothergill, John Coakley Lettsom, Sir Joseph Banks and many others, and also the nurserymen L,, Gordon Malcolm, Davies, Loddiges and Grimwood."?Henrey. Curtis published this catalogue of the London Botanical Gardens and dedicated it to the two principal patrons of the undertaking. Daines Barrington (1727-1800), the noted lawyer, antiquary, and naturalist, and Thomas White (1724-97), a brother of Gilbert White of Selborne. Provenance: Contemporary ink ownership signature of G. N. Hall; presentation inscription from J. Rayner to Miss Starr, 1952. This catalogue is rare in commerce and has the leaf C2 which is often wanting; Henrey, 591.

This private botanical garden was originally opened by William Curtis in 1779 at Lambeth, but due to smoke pollution, he moved the plants to the larger gardens in Brompton. According to the Survey of London, "in 1789 William Curtis, the author of Flora Londinensis and the founder of The Botanical Magazine, took over from Rubergall as tenant and moved the botanical garden which he had opened in Lambeth in 1779 to this spot. The Brompton Botanic Garden, as it was known, covered about three and a half acres, almost exactly conforming to the area which is now occupied by the streets and houses on the hospital's estate, while the remaining four and a half acres to the north were used for experiments in agriculture. After Curtis's death in 1799 his partner William Salisbury kept the garden here until 1808 when he moved it to Sloane Street, Chelsea. He continued to use the ground at Brompton for a nursery, however, until 1829 when he was succeeded there by David Ramsay, whose establishment was known as the Queen's Elm or Swan Lane nursery."
