1653 Markham Way to Get Wealth
Husbandry Veterinary English Housewife Gardens
“If you would not have your Hen sit, you
bathe her oft in cold water, & thrust a small feather through her
nostrils.”
– Gervase Markham, Way to Wealth
Utterly fascinating collection of six works!
Gervase Markham, a 17th-century English poet, was a
well-known horse trainer and breeder. While many of his works were classic
English poems, he also wrote books on care for horses, husbandry, and hunting.
This book includes six separate titles, which all are considered part of a
larger work “A Way to get Wealth”. In this book, Markham explores various
aspects of English living including husbandry and hunting, veterinary needs,
cooking and cleaning tips for the English housewife, gardening, horse breeding,
and more.
