William Marshall (1745–1818) was an English writer on agriculture, and an advocate of the establishment of a state-sponsored body to promote the improvement of farming standards. He published six studies on the farming practices in England from 1788 to 1798, which remain important historical resources on English agriculture. In this volume he offers a general guide (an abstract of the enlarged Treatise on Landed Property) to buying, managing and improving a landed estate, with particular focus on farming.
