Louis Liger was a prominent 17^th-century French writer known for his works on flora and fauna.

This work covers all aspects of rural life in an encyclopedic form including hunting, gardening, fishing, falconry, wine making, beer brewing, cooking, and bee keeping.

This two-volume 1790 edition is filled with 42 fascinating full-page engravings.
