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 authorâs History of British Livestock Husbandry to 1700.
