I have seen copies of this work dated 1729, called “ third and revised edition,” also “ fourth 
edition,” but I have never seen any of earlier date with this exact title. Watt (and Johnson) 
mention a work called “ A Compendious Method for raising Kitchen Vegetables,” London, 
1729, 8vo., which I am unable to trace, and conclude these must all be editions with variations 
of the “ Practical Kitchen Gardiner ” of 1727.
