(Eablt Pehiod.) 



OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 



"Mr. Gamier is fortunate in his subject. Mr. Kenelm Dighy has dealt with 

 its legal aspects ; the late Professor Rogers, Mr. Ashley, Mr. Seebohm, Mr. 

 Cunningham, and a host of writers have written of it as economists ; and the 

 literature of the subject in all its many sides is prodigious. It was a happy 

 thought on the part of Mr. Gamier to focus some of the scattered rays of light. 

 He Writes, it is important to note, with a living knowledge of the rural England 

 of to-day. He has read much and widely. He has mastered most of the au- 

 thorities on the subject." — Times. 



" His book is one strongly to be recommended to every Agricultural College 

 and every local authority dealing with agricultural education throughout Great 

 Britain." — Field. 



" The author is a rare and precious combination of practical experience, to- 

 gether with scholarship. . , . He has achieved the difficult task of clotliing 

 the dry bones of techhical history with the flesh and blood of vivid pictorial de- 

 scriptions of rural and domestic life." — Journal of Royal Agricultural Society. 



" This is a really brilliant book. Mr. Gamier discourses pleasantly and profit- 

 ably, and his readers will look forward to the volume in which he proposes to 

 carry his history of the landed interest down to the present day." — Morning 

 Post. 



" Mr. Gamier must be congratulated on the courage with which he has 

 entered upon his task. He has been careful not to omit any set of facts that 

 would contribute to the full understanding of his subject." — Pall Mall Gazette. 



" This is the only work we have come across which shows in the clearest 

 manner the birth of private ownership in land." — Horticultural Times. 



" A book which epitomises with praiseworthy care and impartiality the re- 

 searches of students, collects into a compact, continuous form the scattered 

 results of independent enquiry, and presents the whole in a readable shape."— 

 Ediahurgh Review.
