Book of the Peach e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The cultural details are set out in as plain, simple, and concise a manner as possible, consistent with making my meaning clear. Thus the instruo tions given in the work come within the com prehension of all consulting its pages, from the schoolboy upwards. I hope this work may be received by those interested in the subject of which it treats in the same kindly spirit that induced me to write it; also that the unavoidable references to the success which I achieved in the culture of the peach may not be put down to egotism.
