Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fiue Hundred Pointes of Good Husbandrie: The Ed, of 1580 Collated With Those of 1573 and 1577, Together With a Reprint From the Unique Copy in the British Museum, of "a Hundreth Good Pointes of Husbandrie," 1557
A reprint Of the First Edition of 1557 was not included in the original programme, but after the work came into my hands an opportunity was presented through the kindness of Mr. F. J. Furnivall, who lent for the purpose his copy Of the reprint of 1810, of exhibiting the work in its original form of One hundreth Points Side by side with the extended edition Of 1580, the last which had the benefit of the author's supervision. The proof-sheets have been collated with the unique copy in the British Museum by Miss toulmin-smith, to whom I return my thanks for her kindness, and the correctness of the reprint may consequently be relied on. From Mr. F. J. Furnivall I have received numerous hints, and much valuable help, while to Mr. J. Britten, f.l S., I am indebted for his kindness in revising and supplementing the notes on the Plants named in Tusser. But my chief obligations are due to the Rev. W. W. Skeat, whose uniform kindness has considerably lightened my labours, and from whom both directly and indirectly (through the notes in his numerous publications), but more particularly.
