Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ... thirteen acres. As regards cultura, it is very far from likely that it can be in any sense equated, as Mr. Hudson suggests, with a day's work. Prof. Maitland's book, already referred to (p. 380), has the very latest information on the matter, and the definition therein given leaves nothing to be desired in point of lucidity:--"Tbe cultura is a set of contiguous and parallel acrestrips: it tends to be a rude parallelogram: two of its side will be each a furlong (' furrowlong') in length, while the length of the other sides will vary from case to ci'e. We commonly find that every great field (campui) u divided into divers cultural, each of which has its own name. The commonest English equivalent for tbe word cultura seems to have been furlong, and this use of furlong was very natural; but aa we require that term for another purpose we will call the cultura a shot." A thirteenth century citation from a Berwickshire chartulary (' Chartulary of Coldstream,' ed. Rogers, Grampian Olub, p. 22) shows the parallel osage in Scotland: "tres acras terre in cultura que vocatur Spitelflat in territorio de Dercestyr." Geo. Neilson. Glasgow. In this part of the West Riding of Yorkshire a day's work was, I believe, formerly a common unit of land measurement among farmers, bat is now gradually passing out of use. It comprises, sixty-four looal roods of forty-nine square yards, each, or, roughly speaking, about two-thirds of an acre. The farmers call the above a "dawark" and rood a "rooid." A. S.
