Synopsis

The Apology of an English Landowner: Addressed to the Landed Proprietors of the County of Oxford is a book written by an anonymous author who identifies themselves as one of the landed proprietors of Oxfordshire. The book was published in 1827 and is a defense of the actions and decisions of English landowners during a time of great political and social change.The author begins by acknowledging the criticisms that have been leveled against the landed gentry in recent years, particularly in regards to their treatment of the rural poor. However, the author argues that these criticisms are unfair and do not take into account the complex economic and social realities of rural life.Throughout the book, the author addresses a variety of topics related to landownership, including the enclosure of common lands, the role of the church in rural life, and the impact of industrialization on the countryside. The author also defends the practice of primogeniture, which ensures that the eldest son inherits the family estate, arguing that it is necessary for the preservation of family heritage and stability.Overall, The Apology of an English Landowner is a thoughtful and nuanced defense of the landed gentry and their role in English society. While some of the arguments may seem outdated or controversial to modern readers, the book provides a valuable perspective on the attitudes and beliefs of English landowners in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
