1653017327The Kings-head in the Old Bayley: John Wright 1653. Third edition small square octavo pp 18 274 12 lacking the engraved frontispiece and with only one of two engraved folding plates two full page woodcut illustrations and a small woodcut within the text the remaining title page a little stained the hinge at the title page cracked and open but still very sound the hinge at the rear similar but weaker the free endpaper ar the rear loose and frayed a little age-toning throughout but otherwise quite clean and sound old half calf and boards rubbed and worn the joints beginning to split. The title page runs over two pages - the first part pictorial and engraved the second part letterpress; it is the engraved part which is missing in this copy. With the armorial bookplate of John Norcliffe Preston. Blith's books on husbandry show notable good sense based on the author's and others' farming experience. He presents his judgements and opinions carefully and made textual changes in subsequent editions to describe new farming practices. His "The English Improver or A New Survey of Husbandry" was dedicated to both houses of Parliament and to the "ingenuous reader". A second edition appeared in the same year and third "much augmented" in 1652 with a second part containing "Six Newer Pieces of Improvement". This was dedicated to Cromwell the council of state nobility gentry soldiers husbandmen cottagers labourers and the meanest commoner. The new information concerned new crops such as woad clover sainfoin lucerne etc. This copy offered is yet another edition of 1653. Blith intended to write a further book on animal husbandry but apparently did not complete it. His Parliamentarian sympathies prevented any of his work reappearing after the Restoration of 1660. The books were written "in our own natural country language and in our ordinary and usual home-spun terms". He urged agricultural improvement but showed less enthusiasm for enclosure through his concern for the poor: enclosure should not be allowed to cause depopulation. Enclosure had in fact caused turmoil in his village of Cotesbach in 1603 and made it a centre of the Midland revolt of 1607. Though Blith showed sympathy for the common man and understood the aspirations of the Diggers he did not think the latter were realistic. Blith's ideas brought some improvement in techniques but the period of peace under the Commonwealth was short-lived and in general substantial improvement had to wait for the Agricultural Revolution of the next century.

He was considered a great expert on rural affairs and one of the first British agriculturalists to discuss the importance of farming as an industry. The book treats of improvements in general of enclosing meadows and pastures and of watering and draining them of clovers vetches spurry Wiltshire long-grass probably that of the meadows of Salisbury hemp flax rape turnips etc. A Persian wheel was made by his direction in Wiltshire in 1665 that carried water in good quantity above twenty feet high for watering meadows and another near Godalming in Surrey. Sowing clover and other seeds preserved the cattle in the fatal winter of 1673 in the southern parts of England; whereas in the western and northern through defect of hay and pasture the greater part of their cattle perished. Hops enough were not planted but we imported them from the Netherlands of a quality not so good as our own. The authors he chiefly quotes are Weston Hartlib and Blith. Worlidge's system of husbandry collected information published during the period of the Commonwealth. The work went through a number of editions and was important for many years. . Second edition.
