I believe to be the second edition is entitled “ The Gentleman’s Gard’ner’s Director,” second 
edition, London, 1744. 8vo. The seventh edition I have seen is dated 1766.

These works, 1717, 1721, 1777, described by Watt as translated from the German. He is 
correct as regards the two first, but the third work is evidently the following, and Agricola is 
the pseudonym of another writer, James Anderson (see 1777).

lated for the climate of Scotland. In a series of letters by Agricola. Edinburgh. Printed 
for Charles Elliott, Edinburgh ; and Thomas Cadell, London, 1777.”
