As a prolific writer, his inputs to scientific agriculture are enduring, particularly encapsulated in his book 'The Elements of Agriculture'. This seminal work is often cited as a comprehensive source for both theoretical and practical agricultural knowledge of the late 19th century, embodying Waring's dedication to improving agricultural practice through science (Waring, 1854). His literary style combines meticulous observation with a clear, didactic purpose, aiming to educate an audience that ranges from the novice farmer to the knowledgeable agronomist.
