Ringsted, Josiah 
His book, "The farmer", >ts of little value 
in connection with gardening, altho it contains 
brief instructions on cultivation of vegetables 
and flowers. It is of interest, however, on ac¬ 
count of the uncertainty and obscurity of its 
editions. For more extended comment on their 
dates see; "Ringsted's work4", by M. F. Warner, 
in Agricultural Library Notes, v»l, no.12, p. 
153-154 (Dec. 1926 ) 
The farmer. London, J. Dixwell [1775?^ (N. Y. Pub. 
Lib.) 
Contains advertisement of Ringsted's "Cattle- 
keeper's assistant", which was first published in 
1774* according to Watt, Bib. Brit. Probably one 
of the earliest, if not the first ed., for it was 
issued by Dixwell, who also published a 9th ed. 
of the "Cattle-keeper's assistant" in 1776. 
- London, 1796. I 66 p. (Rothamsted) 
Possibly the 3 d ed., which, according to Watt, 
Bib. Brit., was published in 1796; but Hihere may 
have been an earlier issue of this ed., for it is 
listed among publications of J. Smeeton, in an 
appendix to a nursery catalog of John Graefer 
that has its preface dated 1794* (MFW)
