Item History & Price
"THE NEW COUNTRY HOUSE, OR GENERAL ECONOMY OF ALL THE COUNTRY ESTATES. How to maintain and to multiply them; Given to the public by Mr. Liger. The eight edition, revised, corrected, with additions, set in the better order and enriched with engravings."General Economy of the Countryside or The New Rustic House was one of the first books on the economy and has had considerable success, being reprinted throughout the eighteenth century under the title of New Rustic House. All country...side subjects are treated here: the barnyard, bees, horses, cattle, agriculture, ponds and rivers, fruit trees, pruning and grafting, vegetable garden, vine, land selection etc. This unique book is a typical representative of physiocracy, an economic theory developed by a group of 18th-century Enlightenment French economists who believed that the wealth of nations was derived solely from the value of "land agriculture" or "land development" and that agricultural products should be highly priced. It immediately preceded the first modern school, classical economics, which began with the publication of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations in 1776.
