168 THE AMEKICAN MONTHLY [July. 



story of the struggle of the English poor against the avarice of priest 

 and king, landlord and capitalist ; a story told by the records of thou- 

 sands of court rolls and stewards' accounts, compiled by unconscious 

 historians who little dreamed of the tale the figures they so patiently 

 added up would one day be made to tell. From the beginning of the 

 thirteenth century, when almost every one not only possessed land but 

 cultivated it ; when a landless man was looked on as an outlaw and a 

 stranger; when the use of the common pasture was without stint, and 

 the arable land of the manor was usually communal ; from that remote 

 date to modern times, the motive was the cheapening of labor for the 

 benefit of the monopolist. And surely no time could be more fitting 

 than the present for publication of this work.
