Sinopsis
Excerpt from Common Land and Inclosure
On the other hand, the beneficial effect on farming taken as a whole is undoubted. This displays itself on all sides, and particularly in the increased utilisation of what is, after all, the distinctive agricultural wealth of England, rich grazing and dairy lands. Again, the examination attempted and the tables adduced seem, to me to prove that rural population at the end of that century did not vary with inclosure, and that this move ment was not at any rate the main cause of the increase I in poor relief expenditure. Nor does the accusation of general arbitrary or unfair treatment of the small farmer or the poor owner appear to me tenable.

Excerpt from Common Land and Inclosure
The main object of the present work is to trace the process whereby the land of this country came into agricultural use under full individual control. That movement, as will be seen, is treated as continuous and as due in the main to the operation of large economic and, so to say, normal causes. While the rapidity and extent of inclosure varies from time to time, and while its kind undergoes certain changes, progress continues. Moreover, despite the particular features which appertain to different periods, the movement owes its impetus and direction to certain dominant though often undetected influences. Hence the emphasis laid in the following pages on such factors as the soil, the effect of the addition of new agricultural land on the use of that already in cultivation, the date of inclosure from the wild state, the influence of progress in farming, and of the new demands arising from an advance in industrial development. The connection of these with the progress of inclosure and with its results, differing as these often do from epoch to epoch, are treated of in detail.
But there is one subject touched on, with regard to which I may be blamed for not attempting any definite and general conclusion. I refer to the effect of the eighteenth century inclosures upon the condition of the labouring class.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the evolution of common land and the enclosure of open fields in England. At the heart of this transformation was the need to adapt to new agricultural practices, such as the expansion of pasture land for livestock and the introduction of new crops. Exploring these changes from the 16th to 19th centuries, the author presents a detailed account of the factors that led to the decline of common rights and the rise of private property. This process had far-reaching consequences for farming, the cultivation of arable land, and the lives of rural communities, as well as the broader social, economic, and legal landscape. The book's findings provide valuable insights into the dynamics of land use and tenure, shedding light on the historical evolution of property rights and their impact on agricultural development in England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
