Very rarely, indeed, is this once esteemed and much read poetical volume to be found in perfect state as above. The great merit of Tusser's book, independent of the utility of its agricultural precepts, consists in the faithful picture which it delineates, of the manners, customs, and domestic life of the English farmer, and in the morality, piety, and benevolent simplicity which pervade the whole."-Dr. Drake's “Shakespeare and his Times."

"Such was the ancient farmer's year, which Tusser has described with wonderful spirit, even to the minutest detail, and such were the operations of husbandry that the boy Shakespeare would have beheld with interest amidst his native cornfields and pastures. '-Charles Knight, "William Shakespeare, a Biography."
