Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rural Economy in New England at the Beginning of the Nineteenth Century
The general plan of the essay may be outlined as follows: In the first place an analysis of the occupations of the inhabitants of the inland townships will be undertaken. Not only will the relative importance of each trade, business, and profession be determined, but also the nature of the relations existing between each and the agricultural industry will be considered. In other words, this por tion, Chapter I, will be devoted to a study of the extent of the Divi sion of Labor in the inland townships.
The second step, Chapter II, will be to determine how far the inland communities thus described were typical of the whole region of southern New England. A search will be made for industrial and commercial towns and the commercial relations between these and the purely rural towns will be considered.
