Books by William Marshall

William Marshall, an experienced farmer and land agent, published this work anonymously in 1785. It begins with instructions on propagation and planting out, followed by an alphabetical plant list (by Latin names) and advice on use of plants in the landscape, as timber for cutting, hedges, woodlands, and ornamental 'grounds'.

A pioneer of scientific methods of farming, William Marshall published widely on best practice, and was also known for his geographical surveys of agriculture. This two-volume 1789 work covers the county of Gloucestershire, but also includes dairy management in north Wiltshire and the orchards and fruit products of Herefordshire.

Between 1787 and 1798, the agricultural writer and land agent William Marshall (1745-1818) published a number of works on the rural economies of England. In this two-volume work, first published in 1796, he describes the farming, geography, public works and produce of districts in Devon, Somerset, Dorset and Cornwall.
