[" The English husbandman" is the title of the complete work, 

 but the first book and also the second part of the second book were 

 sold separately. In this form they have mostly come down to us* 

 The Huth library contains a complete copy of the edition of 1613- 

 14, and the British Museum one of that dated 1635. The "art of 

 fishing" is a prose version of "The secrets of angling" by John 

 Dennys and was also used by Markham in his "Country Content- 

 ments," 1631. Its origin may account for a higher and more poet- 

 ical tone than is generally observable in the writings associated 

 with Markham's name.]
