Thanks. That book is a classic. My list sez I have it in soft
cover. Soft cover isn't a "paperback". I didn't check the edition or
printing date of the pdf but, IIRC, that title underwent several
revisions before going out of print. May be a modern reprint but is not
marked as such on the list. I'd have acuired and read it during the
early 1970s. The 1868 edition may be read online or downloaded in
several formats he

did you note that is the same website i reference
above?

(what I think is) some great reading for long winter nights. A few
classics are on it but, as usual, one must be careful to differentiate
among religion (bet _me_ "organic", "transitioning" and "sustainable"
this, that, and the-other isn't religion), supposition, and empiricism.


of course, i always enjoy nosing through old gardening
books because they often include bits of current cultural
references.

i'm not a fond of the word "organic" but simple and
natural methods have worked well for me. my past training
in empiracle sciences (along with the history of science
and the philosophy of science) doesn't let me ignore
actual results. i'm also glad to see my past efforts
paying off. i sure didn't have to work as hard this
season and the larger garden areas i had were nice.
