Extract from Publishers' Advertisement.
"A treatise that made its original appearance in the first decade of the century, and that enters upon its Thirteenth Edition before the century has run its course, has undoubtedly established its position as a work of permanent value.... The phenomenal progress of the last dozen years in the Practice and Science of Farming has rendered it necessary, however, that the volume should be re-written, ... and for this undertaking the publishers were fortunate enough to secure the services of Dr. Fream, whose high attainments in all matters pertaining to agriculture have been so emphatically recognised by the highest professional and official authorities. In carrying out his editorial duties, Dr. Fream has been favoured with valuable contributions by Prof. J. Wortley Axe, Mr. E. Brown, Dr. Bernard Dyer, Mr. W. J. Malden, Mr. R. H. Rew, Prof. Sheldon, Mr. J. Sinclair, Mr. Sanders Spencer, and others.
