{"product_id":"the-farming-and-memorandum-books-donald-woodward-9780197260296","title":"The Farming and Memorandum Books of Henry Best","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1640s Henry Best, a gentleman farmer of Elmswell in the East Riding of Yorkshire, composed an account of his farming practices. The resulting Farming Book provides a unique account of seventeenth-century farming, of the marketing of agricultural produce, and of rural customs. It is here published in a new transcription by Donald Woodward. In addition, a complete transcript of Henry Best's Memorandum Book is published for the first time; this volume gives details of a wide range of day-to-day transactions mainly during the period 1617 to 1645. The editor adds greatly to our knowledge of Henry Best, his family and estate in a substantial introduction, and much ancillary documentary evidence is provided in a series of appendices. The volume is rounded off by an extensive new glossary prepared by Peter McClure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Woodward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197260292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197260296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Academy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/1984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Donald Woodward","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47452481224959,"sku":"9780197260296","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2d1a063-cc3e-4230-a00d-2d58a3c5b634.jpg?v=1761928688","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-farming-and-memorandum-books-donald-woodward-9780197260296","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
