A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

I k Iwere to write a list of the authorities consulted I for the making of this little volume it would not consist of the names of books and of writers, but of obscure men who, in the rural districts of England, are doinj; their work and livinj; their lives. For several years back, havinj been deeply impressed with the manitude and im(X)rtancc of the migration to town, it has been my habit to discuss the question with all sorts and conditions of countrymen. The i study, if I may dignify it with a term so austere, began in a semi-depopulated district that I have known since chi Idhc Kd. It W(is needless to cisk questions there. Hardly has one family left without my knowing why, when, and whither it went. The knowledge thus acquired sered as a basis of more. In any new district it was but natural to ask if the same conditions prevailed, or what other influences came into oj Kration. And as I have wandered in most of the Knglish shires, conversing freely alike with the landlord and the tenant, Anglican and Dissenter, the hind at his plough, the ratcatcher working ditches with ferret and terrier, the Agrarian lecturer, the village atheist, the x)acher, the grocer, and doctor and land cigent, it is my own blame if I have not obtained a tolerably correct notion of the ideas and aspirations of the English villager. My chief regret is, that I possess no equally intimate knowledge of fqreign countries in order to determine how far a movement, world-wide in operation, is world-wide in its causes.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
