Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Land Tenure by Registration
This is the one relic of the Feudal System which has survived all changes of dynasty and Of govern ment, and though grievously overshadowed and be clouded, it still remains a living fact, a Vindication and assertion Of the ownership by the nation of all the land lying within its jurisdiction as a nation. Did no such fact exist, that right of ownership is established by natural law, for no nation can exist without land as a basis upon which to establish and develop that edifice Of social order which constitutes a nation.
In the eleventh century william the norman crossed the sea with some steel-clad robbers at his back, and established himself in this fair land of England. Now William was a notable fighting man and a great soldier, but more especially was he distinguished as a statesman. Upon the rude basis of the communal tenures of the anglo-saxons he raised up his feudal system, a magnificent system according to the ideas at that time current.
