Louis Liger - La nouvelle maison rustique, ou économie générale de tous les biens de campagne - 1755

Rare two-volume edition illustrated with 27 engraved plates and devoted to agricultural knowledge, the administration of rural estates and all activities necessary for the proper functioning of a farm in the countryside -

Split here into two volumes, this edition fits within the tradition of major practical manuals that seek to bring together, in a single compendium, knowledge relating to land cultivation, animal husbandry, maintenance of buildings, and the methodical management of natural resources -

The author addresses both owners eager to valorize their domains and farmers, cultivators and those responsible for the daily organization of agricultural work -

His approach rests on a global conception of rural life, in which the various farm activities are closely linked and must be coordinated in order to ensure production, the preservation of harvests and the profitability of the operation -
