The Gentleman Farmer is a book written by Henry Home in 1815. The book is an attempt to improve agriculture by subjecting it to the test of rational principles. The author argues that agriculture should be based on scientific principles and that farmers should be educated in these principles to improve their farming practices. The book covers a wide range of topics related to agriculture, including soil management, crop rotation, animal husbandry, and the use of fertilizers. The author also discusses the importance of education and training for farmers, and the need for government support for agricultural research and development. The Gentleman Farmer is an important work in the history of agriculture, and is still relevant today as farmers continue to seek ways to improve their practices and increase productivity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
