Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the critical importance of land ownership and access for the well-being of the English rural laborer. The author, a country parson, argues that the traditional system of large agricultural holdings has had a detrimental impact on the laborer's economic and social status. Examining historical trends and contemporary examples of allotment farming, the author provides a compelling case for a shift towards a more equitable land system. The book delves into the history of the allotment movement in England, tracing its evolution from the early 1800s through to the social and political reforms of the late 19th century. It highlights the benefits of small holdings, such as increased income, improved moral character, and a greater sense of independence for the rural laborer. The author also addresses the larger social and political implications of land ownership, arguing that a system of widespread small holdings could serve as a bulwark against social unrest and revolution. The book's insights offer a potent critique of the existing land system and provide a roadmap for a more just and prosperous future for the English rural laborer. The author's passionate advocacy for land reform and his detailed exploration of the allotment system make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of social reform and the future of rural England.
