English Agriculture in 1850-51

Klappentext This detailed 1852 survey of the state of English agriculture provided a basis for planning and improving the rural economy. Zusammenfassung Sir James Caird (1816–1892) was a Scottish agriculturalist and M.P., who wrote widely on agriculture and land economy, in Britain and the Empire. Arguing for the need for official statistics to be collected, he produced this detailed county-by-county survey of the state of English agriculture in 1852. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1.
