and Tusser, Mavor ed., 1812, p.l6. The latter 
has this note: "It appears probable that this e- 
dition, though its existence is disputed by some, 
contained the original germ of the Book of Hus- 
wifery, as we find, on the authority of Warton, 
that in the preceding year Richard Totell had li¬ 
cense to print *a booke entituled one hundreth 
good poyntes of husbandry lately maryed unto a 
hvindreth good poyntes of huswiffry newly cor¬ 
rected and amplyfyed.'"
