The Fleece: A Poem, In Four Books is a literary work written by John Dyer and published in 1757. The book is structured in four parts, each of which is dedicated to a different aspect of the wool industry.

The third book delves into the manufacturing of woolen textiles, and the fourth book examines the impact of the wool industry on society and the economy.Throughout the book, Dyer employs poetic language and imagery to describe the beauty of the natural world and the intricacies of the wool industry. He also highlights the importance of wool to the British economy and the way in which it has shaped the country’s history and culture.Overall, The Fleece: A Poem, In Four Books is a unique and engaging work that combines poetic language with historical and economic analysis. It offers readers a fascinating insight into the wool industry and its significance in British society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
