The Agriculture of the United Provinces

The Agriculture of the United Provinces Synopsis

Excerpt from The Agriculture of the United Provinces: An Introduction for the Use of Landholders and Officials

In a work of this kind it would be pedantic not to use the vernacular terms which are current in every-day con versation. I have used English names where they express clearly the nature of the thing or process to which they are applied, but in other cases I have preferred vernacular terms to cumbrous paraphrases. A glossary will be found at the end of the volume.

I have indicated in notes at the end of several chapters the books of which I have made most use, and which appear likely to assist readers who wish to pursue the subject further but I must express my special obligations to Messrs. Fuller and Duthie's monograph on the Field and Garden Crops of the Provinces. I have also to acknowledge the cordial assistance I have received from my colleague Mr. J. M Hayman and also from Mr. S. H. Fremantle.
