210 THE PORTRAIT GALLERY 
Cart Horse Parade, 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.
