210 THE PORTRAIT GALLERY 



Cart Horse Para-de, probably the most imposing draft display in 

 existence. 



An earnest student of the problems of land owner and tenant 

 in Britain, his contributions to rural uplift were of the practical 

 sort. It is related that in erecting cottages for his tenants he 

 insisted that the wash house and the coal hole be built apart 

 from the cottage. "No man wants to come home to his dinner 

 or his supper, and find the place full of steam and soapsuds." 

 His portrait rightly hangs beside those of other masters of an 

 early agriculture, since his public recognition was more wide- 

 spread and his achievements more immediately rewarded.
