The Fleece: A Poem, In Four Books is a literary work written by John Dyer and published in 1757. This poem tells the story of the wool industry in England during the 18th century, from the process of shearing sheep to the creation of woolen cloth. The book is divided into four parts, each of which explores a different aspect of the wool industry. The first book describes the process of shearing sheep and the importance of wool to the economy of England. The second book focuses on the production of woolen cloth, including the spinning and weaving of the yarn. The third book explores the lives of the people involved in the wool industry, including the farmers, weavers, and merchants. Finally, the fourth book discusses the impact of the wool industry on the landscape of England, including the destruction of forests to make way for sheep pastures. The Fleece is considered a significant work of English literature and is known for its vivid descriptions of rural life and the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
