The encouragement which the first part of this work has received from the pens of lenient critics has prompted me to carry my narrative forward to its conclusion. Briefly described, the present volume may be divided into two portions; viz., that belonging to the eighteenth century a time of germination and growth, and that belonging to the first half of the nineteenth a time of fruition. The kind of crop which was coming to maturity all through the earlier portion of these two periods may be clearly discerned garnered in those pages of theS tatute Book which deal with the legislation of the later. Such a harvest was not unaffected by storms and commotions, and the narrative of these, together with an explanation of their causes and results, has led me forward till I found a convenient halting-place at the Repeal of the Com Laws. The last four decades of this present century are fraught with interest, and without doubt pregnant with important future changes, but they embrace a subject more fitted for a history of modern British agriculture than for the work which I now offer to the public. Nothing remains for me to do but to express my sincere gratitude to those men of letters who have accorded me so flattering a reception on entering their select circles. BussELL M. Gabxieb.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of landed interests in England from the Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution. The author traces the lasting effects of feudalism on landownership, examining how the Anglo-Saxon and Celtic ethnicities shaped feudalism's development in England, Ireland, and Scotland. The book analyzes the social, political, and economic changes wrought by the shift to a more modern system of agriculture, including the enclosure movement, the rise of agricultural science, and the impact of the Industrial Revolution on rural life. The author discusses the changing relationships between landlords, tenants, and the state, and explores the emergence of new landed interests, such as tenant farmers and agricultural laborers. The book concludes with reflections on the enduring legacy of feudalism in the modern English countryside, demonstrating the profound influence of historical landownership patterns on contemporary society.
