Most probably the first and only Dutch translation of this fundamental German treatise on agriculture on a scientific basis and a stimulant for the Dutch agriculture during the 19th century. A printed note, tipped in in volume III, states that the Dutch edition did not contain three plates from the original edition because of irrelevance to Dutch agriculture. - Rare.€ 180
