London & Lewes: Sussex Agricultural Press: Printed and Published by J. Baxter, 1834. Stiff boards. 8º, 24cm.; LXIV pp. [64] (paginaton in roman num.);. Item #32

Fussell voiced his frustration with The Sussex Press' issuances and lists the known early editions of Baxter's A & H Knowledge, but his frustration would only have been furthered had he seen this title as it appears unknown in this printing. There are no holding libraries or auction records: OCLC lists 12 holdings of the third edition of The Library of Agricultural and Horticultural Knowledge series (from which this was drawn), indeed 5 in the United States, but 4 of which are fully ensconced in UC California system alone; Dumbarton Oaks being the only US East Coast holder and, again, none anywhere of this seperatly printed edition.

Ellman was known as the great publicist and promotor of the Southdown Sheep. (Farrant).
