PREFACE.
If a Dedication, or Introduction to the following Work should be thought necessary, I most humbly, and justly address it to the excellent Dairy-Women, of Great Britain; duly sensible, that from them I received the first hints that led me to the performance, and without whose assistance and encouragement, joined with my own knowledge and experience, I should never have offer’d it to the Public.
The real design of this Work, is to assist those who are not fully acquainted with the most proper methods, necessary to be used in the management of a Dairy; I have made it my endeavour to render every part as plain and intelligent as possible, and am in hopes upon a due Observation of the rules laid down many will find their account in it. It is my sincere wish, that it may be a means of improving the quality, as well as enlarging the quantity of Cheese, through the Kingdom; and become extensively useful to the community in general.
As the Publication of this Work has met with a very ready sale, & been much approved of in general, and many who have carefully apply’d the rules for Dairying therein laid down, have deriv’d great advantage from it, which the Author has by many, been inform’d of; encourages him to print a second Edition, and having omitted the other treatises upon Orchards and Vegetation, in order to bring the price more moderate, hopes that, will cause it to be more read by Dairy-Women, who if they pay a due attention to it, cannot help receiving benefit from the advice it contains.
