Description

Note: This is a used copy of this book. The dust jacket is present but heavily torn and worn, but the book and its binding is in good condition. A former owner is named and an address is written on the inside cover. Pages have foxing. 

“This is a work of the first importance to all students of social and economic history. It is a veritable encyclopaedia of information… The value is enormously increased by the eminently readable style in which the authoress has so admirably succeeded in expressing herself” – Antiquity.

“This is another important book which we have been unable to reprint for all too long. It describes the gradual growth of the English farm, from its humble beginnings in the Stone Age to the fully equipped homesteads of to-day. The history of how the component parts f the farm, as we see it to-day, were acquired, modified, and developed during many centuries, presents an excellent picture of English country life.

It is written with great care in a clear and interesting style, and no one who takes any interest in… country life can afford to miss it” – Sunday Times.
