Footnotes
All three works include recipes and household tips as well advice on the art of brewing, making bread, and keeping livestock such as cows, pigs, domestic fowl and bees. The first work was compiled by the Marchioness of Bath at Longleat and printed in Frome; the second, a very scarce work "By an economist", adds a section on manure, and Cobbett finishes his book with chapters on hat-making and ice-houses.
