Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Occupying Ownership of Land: An Analysis of the Position of the Tenant Farmer, and Some Suggestions on the Reconstruction of Village Life and on the Creation of the Peasant Owner, Drawn From Practical Experience
When a man writes a preface to another's book, he does not necessarily agree with all that the author says. But he may be assumed to accept the main argument of the work, and to see some special merits in its presentation. The main argument of Mr. Tollemache's book is the superiority of occupying ownership over occupying tenancy as the system to be gener ally, but not universally, adopted for small holdings; its special merits are his first-hand knowledge of the conditions under which occupying owners have succeeded in this country, and his practical experience in con nection with the F airby Village Farm, where a variety of agencies were established to increase the occupiers' prospects of success.
