About this book

First published in 1912, this volume presents the sixth edition of Lord Ernle's study of English farming, updated by Sir A. Daniel Hall in the fifth edition, from the manorial system through the reigns of Elizabeth I, James I and the Stewarts, to large industrialised farms, the Corn Laws and the Great Depression. Lord Ernle's volume remains the classic handbook on the subject and will be of use to students, teachers and academics of agricultural studies.
