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","brand":"British Academy","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47781194465431,"sku":"9780197260296","price":7267.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780197260296.webp?v=1778051395","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-farming-and-memorandum-books-of-henry-best-9780197260296","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
