Bakewell (Robert). To the Nobility, Gentry, and Others. The humble Petition of Robert Bakewell, of Dishley, in the County of Leicester [drop-title], December 23, 1780, two leaves with four folds, fore-edges and some folds neatly strengthened, first leaf with printed petition on recto and printed subscribers list on verso, second leaf with ms. list of subscribers on recto, and ms. signature of R. Bakewell on verso, sewn into modern cream wrappers, 4to. Robert Bakewell`s own copy of an extremely rare piece of ephemera: only one copy traced, that held by Leicestershire County Library. The signature on the final leaf is in Bakewell`s hand as are about half the entries listed as additional subscribers in manuscript; this was evidently Bakewell`s copy, which travelled with him, folded to fit into his pocket. Robert Bakewell (1725-1795), one of the most important figures in the British Agricultural Revolution, introduced selective stockbreeding methods which transformed the quality of Britain`s cattle, horses and sheep, without any knowledge of modern genetics. Selective breeding, which Charles Darwin described as artificial selection, was an inspiration for his theory of natural selection. In `On the Origin of Species` Darwin cited Bakewell`s work as demonstrating variation under domestication, in which methodical breeding during Bakewell`s lifetime led to considerable modification of the forms and qualities of his cattle and sheep. Prominent agriculturist, George Culley, whose name appears in the manuscript subscribers list, was a pupil on Bakewell`s farm in 1763, and he subsequently became a respected agricultural improver and author. Bakewell`s most generous patron was the Duke of Rutland, whose subscription of £200 is equivalent to approximately £12,500 today. Such generosity must have been invaluable to Bakewell who states in his petition that he has sustained "great and unavoidable Losses, to the Amount of many Thousand Pounds", adding that "if the Public should take his Case into their Consideration... he is fully persuaded he could be highly instrumental to the general Good of this Nation, by continuing in his late Line of the Breeding Business, and carrying it forward in such a Manner as will be most conducive to the public Service".
