Old calf boards rubbed and scratched, corners slightly worn at tips with board just showing, slightly trimmed copy with several pages having running title shaved, just affecting the top of the taller letters, no loss of meaning, pale old ink stain to outer margin of last page of Preface, pale browning and damp staining, affecting margins and a few leaves, occasional small brown spot, small ink stain to fore-edges of last few pages, nowhere near text, a very good copy. This is the second section, with independent title page (but with the register commencing at Aa) of the third edition of Hill's The Profitable Art of Gardening, now the third time set forth. It is of substantial interest in its own right as an early beekeeping treatise. The final sections discuss Weather and Graffting, comprising signatures Aa-Mm4.
