How the Peasant Owner Lives in Parts of France, Germany, Italy, Russia e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. A comparison between the condition of peasant owners in the principal countries of Europe as given in different ofii cial reports lately published is so extremely interesting, that I have collected these papers from the Nineteenth Century, etc., as a very small contribution to so large a subject. I have added a fresh paper on the application of the system to Ireland, and have inserted a map of a French estate, to show by the eye the enormous inconveniences inherent in the pulverisation of the land, and what is almost worse, the scattering of the plots and scraps, over half a commune, even when belonging to the same owner, and the couse quent impossibility of carrying out any decent.
