Ellis, William (cont.)

The practical farmer: or. The Hertfordshire husbandman.
[1st ed. unknown]
J. Britten, "Old country and farming words"
(London, 1880), p.ix, says this does not differ
materially from the "Modern husbandman", but as
none of the copies noted below are so extensive
as the latter (and later) work, this statement
must have been based on some particular issues.
