 [The number of books, new, or revised, or republished under different 



titles, to which Markham put his name, makes it difficult to verify all of 

 them at the present day. His different publishers in the seventeenth 

 century were equally puzzled as to their properties in his works, if, as is 

 stated, he was in 1617 compelled to sign the following memorandum : 

 " Mem. That I, Gervase Markham, of London, gent., do hereby promise 

 hereafter never to write any more book or bookes to be printed of the 

 diseases of any cattle, horse, ox, or cow, sheep, swine or goats. In witness 

 whereof I have hereunto set my hand the 24th daie of July, 1617, Gervase 

 Markham."]
