Descrizione

First Edition, [iv],106,[2]pp., disbound. The introduction of the enclosure act had a damming effect on the lower classes, as the author of this pamphlet implies: ìto increase the estates of the great proprietor and the church, leaving the poor man even without the ëcommon rightí for his cow, or the few yards of ground whereon to grow his vegetables, which had previously afforded him the means of rearing his little familyî. He then sets out to illustrate the example been carried out by Richard Westbrook Baker on the estates of Sir Gerard Noel Noel in Rutland. Here Baker had formed ëThe County of Rutland General Friendly Institutioní with an aim to ameliorate the condition of the poor, by means of the small allotment system, child education, and the benefit of the Stamford and Rutland Infirmary. Only the Goldsmithsí-Kress (28466) copy recorded.
