August Was by the English Called Arn-Monath or Barn-Monath Meaning Harvest-Month. The Instruments which Appear in the Woodcut Do Not Seem to Differ Much from Those Used at the Present Day. To the Left Appears a Man Sounding a Horn with a Spear in His Right Hand. Whether He is Superintending the Labourers or is One of a Hunting Party Entering the Field It is Hard to Decide. The Sheaves Are Being Lifted by a Fork Into a Cart or Wagon of Tolerably Good Construction.
