The book, in its original form (Edinburgh, 1771, 3 vols. 4to), is said to have been compiled by James Tytler, at a salary of 16 shillings per week. It has risen to its present size by repeated additions, of which the French one of Diderot furnished the main matter. : Gregory Dictionary of the Arts and Sciences. New-York, 1822. 3 vols. 4to. 4to.

Lon Young's many agricultural works did a great deal for the advancement of scientific husbandry. Among them, the chief are his several agricultural surveys of Suffolk, London, 1797, 8vo; of Lincoln, London, 1799, 8vo; of Hertfordshire, London, 1804, 8vo; of Norfolk, same date and form; of Essex, London, 1806, 7, 8vo; of Oxfordshire, 1808, 8vo; of Sussex, same date and form. His several tours through various districts of England and Ireland; his agricultural travels in France (Bury St. Edmunds, 1794, 2 vols. 4to); his Farmer's Letters (London, 1768-71, 2 vols. 8vo); the annals of agriculture, conducted by him (Bury St. Edmunds, 1790-1804, 40 vols. 8vo); and his Farmer's Calendar (London, 1812, 4 vols. 8vo), are all much esteemed. The books of Sir John Sinclair were, about the same time, conferring the same benefits on Scotland. Young's books contain also much useful information on matters of population, manufactures, &c.
