Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xvi the reports to the board of agriculture, 1793-1815 In 1793 was founded the Board of Agriculture with Sir John Sinclair as its President and Arthur Young as Secretary. It was not a Government department, like its modern namesake, but an association of gentlemen, chiefly landowners, for the advancement of agriculture, who received a grant from the Government of 3,000 a year. One of their earliest tasks was to obtain a description of the then state of agriculture in the kingdom, and for this purpose they sent surveyors into every county in England and Wales. As these surveyors paid special attention to enclosure their statements as to its progress and its merits form the best body of contemporary evidence we have on the question. I shall therefore make no apology for quoting them at some length. With each county I have given the percentage of area enclosed according to Dr. Gay's tables based on the commissions of 1517 and 1607; also according to Professor Gonner's tables which give the parliamentary enclosure of common fields and waste from 1700 to 1870; and according to Dr. Slater's tables which give the percentage of parliamentary enclosure from 1700 to modern times, and in these no Act or enclosure is included unless the enclosure was partly of arable common field, though in some cases the arable land formed only a trifling part of the area dealt with.1 1 Slater, op. eit., p. 140. In some Acts the area enclosed is not stated, so Dr. Slater has in these cases made an estimate of the area, based on the assumption that the average area per Act where the area is not stated is the same as for Acts where the area affected is stated. I have to thank Professor Gonner and Dr. Slater for their kind permission to use these figurWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
