1968005554London England: Frank Cass and Co Limited 1968. Sir James Caird's English Agriculture in 1850-51 is without doubt the most important single source for the study of mid-19th century agrarian conditions as it was also the major work of this greatest of contemporary agricultural writers. Indeed it was this book which established Caird's reputation as the leading authority of his day and made such an impression that it was published also in the United States and was translated into French German and Swedish. In English agriculture of the reader will find a comprehensive and penetrating survey of English farming and its prospects under the newly introduced regime of free trade. The work is essential for an understanding of the meaning and methods of high farming and it remains the best account of the achievements and failings of English agriculture in its heyday. 'Caird was in the tradition of the great commentators on English farming.' G.E.Mingay writes in his new introduction. 'He reported fairly what he found and he knew what he wanted to say and was not afraid to say it. 548pp including a 16 page index. A VERY FINE COPY!
