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.

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!

This engraving is classified as one of the finest natural history miniatures produced during the mid-nineteenth century. A refined and intelligent work The Naturalist's Library was created for everyone with an interest in the natural world. Sir William Jardine 1800-1847 noted Scottish Ichthyologist and Ornithologist combined the talents of his colleagues; Edward Lear Prideaux John Selby William Swainson to contribute to The Naturalist's Library. The intention of the series was to create a fine yet affordable work describing and illustrating all elements of the natural world save botany. In addition several plates were engraved after noted artists: John James Audubon John Gould and Maria Sibylla Merian. The success of the publication was apparent by the production of forty subsequent volumes. The engraver of the work was William H. Lizars who at the time produced the first ten plates of John James Audubon's magnum opus the Double Elephant Folio Edition of The Birds of America. For The Naturalist's Library Lizars engraved the miniature plates in steel opposed to copper to render meticulously detailed settings for each described species. Traditionally only the major subject either bird animal insect or fish was individually painted with watercolor the background remained uncolored. This work has withstood the test of time and continues to be a fine and affordable option to the lavish engraved work of many natural history masters. WH Lizars, unknown

This engraving is classified as one of the finest natural history miniatures produced during the mid-nineteenth century. A refined and intelligent work The Naturalist's Library was created for everyone with an interest in the natural world. Sir William Jardine 1800-1847 noted Scottish Ichthyologist and Ornithologist combined the talents of his colleagues; Edward Lear Prideaux John Selby William Swainson to contribute to The Naturalist's Library. The intention of the series was to create a fine yet affordable work describing and illustrating all elements of the natural world save botany. In addition several plates were engraved after noted artists: John James Audubon John Gould and Maria Sibylla Merian. The success of the publication was apparent by the production of forty subsequent volumes. The engraver of the work was William H. Lizars who at the time produced the first ten plates of John James Audubon's magnum opus the Double Elephant Folio Edition of The Birds of America. For The Naturalist's Library Lizars engraved the miniature plates in steel opposed to copper to render meticulously detailed settings for each described species. Traditionally only the major subject either bird animal insect or fish was individually painted with watercolor the background remained uncolored. This work has withstood the test of time and continues to be a fine and affordable option to the lavish engraved work of many natural history masters. WH Lizars, unknown
