History of British Livestock Husbandry 1700-1900

First Published in 2005. History books have told us for far too long that farming in Britain was in the eighteenth century Tull's drill Townshend's turnips and Bakewell's metamorphosis of the cow and sheep; in the nineteenth century corn laws Coke's enlightened Norfolk squire-dom and the collapse of the cereal market; and in both centuries enclosures. In this volume the author has taken the evidence sieved and analysed it. The result of the analysis may or may not show the animal husbandry at least of these two centuries in a truer light. The present book is a sequel to the author’s History of British Livestock Husbandry to 1700.
