Hitt, Thomas (d.1770?)

Johnson, Hist. Eng. Gard., p.210, says Hitt
died about 1710, evidently typographical error,
as he also states that Hitt lived at Bloxholme
in Lincolnshire in 1755. In the "Treatise of
fruit trees", 3d ed., 1768, a footnote at end
of the preface says that since the publication
of the 1st ed., the author has made many additions 
which are faithfully included in the present 
ed., and that "he now resides at Bromley in
Kent". As "The modem gardener" was published
in 1771 by James Meader "from the diary manuscripts 
of the late Mr. Hitt", his death must
have occurred between 1768 and 1771. (MFW)
