English Farming

English Farming: Past and Present is a historical account of the development of farming in England from the ancient times to the early 20th century. The book is written by Rowland Edmund Prothero, who was a prominent agriculturalist and politician of his time. The book is divided into three parts, each covering a different period in English farming history. The first part of the book discusses the agricultural practices of the ancient Britons, the Romans, and the Anglo-Saxons. It also covers the introduction of the feudal system and the growth of the manorial system in medieval England. The second part of the book covers the period of agricultural revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries. It discusses the enclosure movement, the introduction of new farming technologies, and the development of the agricultural economy. The third part of the book covers the state of English farming in the early 20th century. It discusses the challenges faced by farmers in the face of changing economic and social conditions, and the efforts made by the government to support the farming industry. Throughout the book, Prothero provides detailed descriptions of farming practices, technologies, and economic conditions. He also discusses the social and political factors that influenced the development of English farming. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of agriculture 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.
