Lawson, William (cent.) 
Brotherston, Card. Chron. (3) 58:389 (Dec.25, 
1915), says this work ”has been repeatedly attrib¬ 
uted to Markham, yet it bears in its pages incon¬ 
testable evidence of having been produced by W. 
Lawson, the author of A New Orchard, who also, in 
the preface to the last-named, mentions the other 
as his work. The only plausible reason for placing 
this to Markham’s credit is that it was published 
from the year 1623 onwards in a volume composed 
of essays on agriculture, gardening, housewifery, 
beekeeping, etc., the majority of which were by 
Markham".

It seems rather questionable whether this may 
not be identical with the preceding, with date 
1625 merely assigned from that of Markham.

This is the only reprint of the 3d ed. While 
the verbatim reproduction of the original title 
in the Philadelphia, 1858, reprint of the "New 
orchard and garden" covers the entire contents 
of the original 3d ed., only the text of the 
"New orchard" itself was reprinted.
