8vo, 76 pp., title-page dust-soiled, small brown stain in first few leaves, nineteenth-century calf-backed boards. First edition; dedicated "To the preses and managers of the Kilbarchen Farmer-Society." The harvest of 1772 was a particularly poor one. The writer, a farmer from Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, discusses various types of inclement weather (extreme cold, high winds, heavy rain, etc.) and ways to deal with it. Rare; the ESTC locates only the copies at LSE, NLS, Chicago, Toronto, and the present copy (formerly Rothamsted).

Johnson?.A very attractive copy of the most popular work of Philip Miller (1691-1771), the foremost British gardener of the eighteenth century, with five folding plates of botanical illustrations. 'Miller's Gardener's Kalendar, published in fifteen editions between 1732 and 1765, catered for the modest gardener who needed practical advice [Miller] produced a work not only portable, but also at a price to suit those who could not afford a larger book. At four shillings a copy it came within the purse of most and indeed was judged to be "a manual to the whole kingdom". Its aim was to bring into "one easy and concise view" what might be of use to those "hindered by other avocations from bestowing much time in the study of this delightful and innocent work" Under each month could be found directions for work to be done in the kitchen garden with notes on its produce, the pleasure or flower garden with plants then in flower, and the greenhouse and stove with their plants in bloom' (Le Rougetel, pp. 1013).
