A guide to eighteenth-century estate and property management. Covering animal husbandry (The Boke of Husbandry), surveying (Surueyenge) and matters of the household (Xenophon's Treatise of Householde). Robert Vansittart, who was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries on 4 June 1767, undertook antiquarian pursuits in his spare time. In the year of his election he edited Certain Ancient Tracts Concerning the Management of Landed Property, which consisted of reprints of Gentian Hervet's translation Xenophon's Treatise of the Householde (1534), and Sir Anthony Fitzherbert's Boke of Husbandry (1534) and Surveyinge (1539). (DNB) Gentian Hervetus (Hervet) was a French Roman Catholic theologian, humanist and controversialist. He is the author of "Le saint, universel et general concile de Trente", and numerous controversial pamphlets. He also translated into Latin and French many works of the Greek Fathers, Sextus Empiricus, collections of canons, decrees of councils, etc. Three books complete in one volume. Rebacked in calf with original boards and original spine label. Externally smart, if a trifle rubbed to the original boards. Internally, firmly bound, with some scattered foxing and spotting.
