Extremely rare. Missing cover. Pages 1-126.(missing last two pages – 127, 128). The Young and Sinclair letters were originally published separately in 1801 and 1800, respectively. This is the first edition to contain both, and the first American edition, published in Virginia within a few years of Washington’s death. These letters offer perhaps the best picture from his own pen of Washington as an agriculturist and plantation owner, seeking to improve both his own lands and those of his country through this correspondence with two of the leading British agricultural theorists.
