Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Commons And Common Fields: Or The History And Policy Of The Laws Relating To Commons And Enclosures In England (1887) by Thomas Edward Scrutton is a comprehensive study of the laws and policies that have governed the use and enclosure of common land in England. Scrutton explores the history of common land and the ways in which it has been used and regulated over the centuries, from the medieval period to the present day. He also examines the social and economic implications of the enclosure of common land, including its impact on rural communities and the development of agriculture.The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of the history and policy of common land. Scrutton begins by discussing the origins of common land and the ways in which it was used in the medieval period. He then examines the various laws and regulations that were put in place to govern the use of common land, including the Enclosure Acts of the 18th and 19th centuries.Scrutton also explores the social and economic implications of the enclosure of common land, including the impact on rural communities and the development of agriculture. He argues that the enclosure of common land had a profound effect on the social and economic structure of rural England, leading to the displacement of small farmers and the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a few wealthy landowners.Throughout the book, Scrutton draws on a wide range of historical sources to provide a detailed and nuanced account of the history and policy of common land in England. He also offers his own analysis and interpretation of these sources, providing a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of land use and land ownership in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
