Excerpt from The English Peasantry

In the first chapter will be found a sum marized account of the general condition of the English peasantry as to wages, cottage rents, piece work, privileges, truck, pauperism, &c. The facts have been very carefully extracted from the Reports of the Commission on the Employ ment of Women and Children in Agriculture, and from the Poor Law Returns. For this in valuable summary, which presents a mass of im portant facts relating to the peasantry in every part of England visited by the Commissioners, I am indebted to the courtesy of the Hon. E. Stanhope, one of the Commissioners.

Excerpt from The English Peasantry

It is a remarkable circumstance that, notwithstanding the great and growing importance of the subject, no comprehensive work on the English peasantry has appeared since the commencement of the movement which led to the establishment of the National Agricultural Labourers' Union. The only comprehensive sources of information in reference to this subject are the Reports of the Royal Commission (1867) on the Employment of Women and Children in Agriculture. But these Reports, included in seven large and closely-printed Blue Books, are far too bulky for general use; besides which, the information contained in them is not arranged in a manner adapted for popular reading.
