Horse-Hoeing Husbandry

Excerpt from Horse-Hoeing Husbandry: Or, an Essay on the Principles of Vegetation and Tillage, Designed to Introduce a New Method of Culture; Whereby the Produce of Land Will Be Increased, and the Usual Expence Lessened, Together With Accurated Descriptions and Cuts of the Instruments Employ As Mr. Tull's Essay on Horse-hoeing Husbandry has been published some Years, it may be presumed that the World hath by this time formed some Judgment of his Performance which renders it the less necessary for the Editors of this Impression to say much concerning it. For every Man who has attended to the Subject, and duly considered the Principles upon which our Author's Method of Culture is founded, is an equal Judge how far his Theory is agreeable to Nature: Though it is but too true, that few have made sufficient Experiments to be fully informed of its Worth. How it has happened, that a Method of Culture, which proposes such Advantages to those who mall duly prosecute it, hath been so long neglected in this Country, may be matter of Surprize to such as are not acquainted with the Characters of the Men on whom the Practice thereof depends; but to those who know them thoroughly it can be none.
