SC - lost country life

[Mark Schuldenfrei]

  Does anyone know if there are extant copies (preferably print) of Gervase
  Markham's *The English Husbandman* or translations of L'argiculture et maison
  rustique by Richard Surflet?  What other sources on animal husbandry are out
  there?

I took a tour of Hollis (Harvard's Online stuff) looking at whatever they
track of Gervase Markham.  It's A LOT. (telnet hollis.harvard.edu, anyone
can do it.)

They have a couple of originals and facsimiles in their collection: not that
useful.  But some of the stuff is also available in microfilm.  Here is the
juice:

    Microforms (Lamont):  Film A 147 1487:17.  Microfilm. Ann Arbor,
    Mich. : University Microfilms International, 1984. 1 microfilm reel
    ; 35 mm. (Early English books, 1641-1700 : 1487:17)  Microfilm

    Baker Business:  Kress Library  Microfilm. New Haven, Conn. :
    Research Publications, [1974]. 1 microfilm reel ; 35 mm.
    (Goldsmiths'-Kress library of economic literature ; no. 1726).
    Microfilm

    Baker Business:  Kress Library  Microfilm. New Haven, Conn. :
    Research Publications, [1974]. 1 microfilm reel ; 35 mm.
    (Goldsmiths'-Kress library of economic literature ; no. 2513.1).
    Photographed from an imperfect copy:  p. 5-12 lacking.  Microfilm

    Microforms (Lamont):  Film A 147 607:7.  Microfilm. Ann Arbor,
    Mich.  : University Microfilms, 1976. 1 microfilm reel ; 35 mm.
    (Early English books, 1641-1700; 607:7)  Microfilm

And so forth.... Note that the canister, distributor and such are listed.

I can do the same search for your other source, if you want.  Also check out
the Library of Congress online search.
