MARKHAM (GERVASE)

The Way to Get Wealth: Containing Five Principall Vocations, or Callings, in Which Every Goode Husband, or House-wife may Lawfully Imploy Themselves... the Seventh Time Corrected, and Augmented by the Author, 6 parts in 1 vol., woodcut illustrations (some full-page in 'Orchard, and Garden' section), without final blank, single small worm trail to opening 110 pages (touching a few letters but mostly in margin), contemporary calf, rebacked [Wing M675; Poynter 34.7], 4to (181 x 145mm.), Printed by B.A. for John Harison, 1648

Footnotes

"A popular handbook such as A Way to get Wealth, used in farmhouse, field and kitchen must have received a great deal of ill-usage and it is not surprising that so few copies of the various editions have survived" (Poynter pp.153-4). Poynter goes on to note the appeal of the separate parts when broken from the collected volume: "At times, it has been amusing to observe, a single part has been sold at a higher price at auction than the complete volume which contained the same work in the same edition, and that at the same sale!"
