Excerpt from Primogeniture and Entail: Letters of J. E. Thorold Rogers, M.A., Professor of Political Economy at the University of Oxford, and Mr. Henry Tupper, of Guernsey, and Others: On the History and Working of the Laws of Primogeniture and Entail, in Their Moral, Social, and Political Aspects
On turning to the pages thus indicated, I found that, in a manner barely consistent with literary honesty, I was referred to some lengthy and exceedingly fallacious notes of Mr. M'culloch himself, who had made the great author of Political Economy the vehicle of sentiments to which he was wholly opposed, and the occasion for as precious a specimen of servility as ever emanated from the pen even of the editor himself.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of the history of primogeniture and entail in England. The author argues that these laws have had a profound impact on the development of English society, and that they have contributed to the widening gap between rich and poor. The author traces the history of primogeniture and entail back to the Norman Conquest, and he shows how these laws have been used to protect the power and wealth of the landed aristocracy. He also discusses the impact of these laws on the agricultural sector, and he argues that they have contributed to the decline of the English peasantry. The author concludes by calling for the abolition of primogeniture and entail, and he argues that this would help to create a more just and equitable society. This book is a valuable contribution to the literature on English social history, and it provides a fresh perspective on the impact of primogeniture and entail.
