Excerpt from A Hundreth Good Pointes of Husbandrie Dr. Maven has announced his intention of giving to the public a new edition of the present once popular work of Tus oer, collated with the various editions which passed the press in the Sixteenth Century, and afterwards. For these editions were not confined to the time of the author's life, who died very aged, as early as 1580. Mr. Walter Scott has given, in the Third Volume of the Somers Tracts, a copy of the edition of I 599 by Peter Short.

The original consists of seventeen leaves, which are now given in ten. So very greatly was it enlarged in subsequent impressions.
