by James Colville.
This is an
interesting wee book which shows the efforts of gardening in the
early part of the 18th century. There are numerous footnotes
explaining many of the references in these letters. I have
ocr'd in the Introduction and the first few letters for you to read
here. The complete book can be downloaded in pdf format
