Adam Dickson, 1721-1776, Scottish minister, writer on agriculture and practical farmer. An account of the author is prefaced to this book
which was not published until twelve years after his death. The book draws freely from the
Scriptores Rei Rusticae
, and is dedicated to the Duke of Buccleuch. McDonald gives the first edition as 1778, but this is probably merely a misprint.
