Présentation de l'éditeur
Of TH UNIVEBSIT lI. OUR COMMON LAND. Probably few persons who have a choice of holidays select a Bank holiday, which falls in the spring or summer, as one on which they will travel, or stroll in the country, unless, indeed, they live in neighbourhoods very far removed from large towns. Every railway station is crowded; every booking-office thronged; every seat nay, all standing room is occupied in every kind of public conveyance; the roads leading out of London for miles are crowded with every description of vehicle van, cart, chaise, gig drawn by every size and sort of donkey, pony, or horse; if it be a dusty day, a great dull unbroken choking cloud of dust hangs over every line of road.

Revue de presse
'A fundamental work for debates about open spaces and common land, yet this is also a key text on volunteer charity work, methods of district visiting, neighbourliness, and the meaning of 'citizenship'. This is essential reading in any historical discussion about 'the big society'.' Professor K. D. M. Snell, University of Leicester
