About this book
Thomas Tusser's rhymed farming advice appears here in the English Dialect Society's edition of 1878. The text follows the enlarged edition of 1580, compared with those of 1573 and 1577, and it reprints his first version of 1557, then called A Hundreth Good Pointes of Husbandrie. Tusser was a sixteenth-century English farmer who wrote in verse on farm work and household management through the year. Because the society prized his dialect words, the editors W. Payne and Sidney J. Herrtage supply a very full glossary, an index of words and notes on the plants he names.
