THE RURAL PROBLEM. 37 



BIBLIOGRAPHY. 



Three small books are specially recommended for the study of the 

 condition of agriculture and rural life, not necessarily because they 

 provide all the best guidance, but because they are not too formidable 

 in size and are within the possibilities of expenditure of many readers, 

 and certainly of most groups of students. They are : Montague Ford- 

 ham, 'Short History of English Rural Life' (Allen & Unwin, 1916, 

 25. 6d., paper) ; A. D. Hall, ' Agriculture After the War ' (John Murray, 

 1916, 3s. Qd. net) : and E. N. Bennett, ' Problems of Village Life ' 

 (Home University Libraiy, Is.). To these maybe added the Reports 

 of the Committee on Settlement and Employment of Soldiers on the 

 Land (Part L Cd. 8812, 1916, 6rf., and Part II. Cd. 8827, 1916, 4cZ.). The 

 general books in each group which arc recommended for further stvidy 

 arc marked thus*. The full list is intended for the guidance and assist- 

 ance of students who may desire to give close attention to one or more 

 special subjects. Most of the books mentioned in the following list 

 and in the footnotes should be in the possession of any good Public 

 Library, and if they are not already in stock would be obtained if appli- 

 cation were made to the librarian by one or two intending students. 

 The official reports can be obtained, most of them for a small sum, 

 from Wyman & Son, Fetter Lane, E.G., or P. S. King& Son, Orchard 

 Street, Westminster, S.W. Many of these are kept by Public Libraries.
