Bound with Fitzherberts Surveyinge, 1546 nad A Treatise of householde, 1534, a translation of Xenophons Oeconomicus by Gentian Hervet. The three works, each complementing the other, singly represent almost the earliest printed texts on agriculture and land management in the English language. Fitzherberts works were first printed by Pynson in 1523, all editions are extremely rare
