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.

Paperback. Zustand: 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.
