The Great Landowners of Great Britain and Ireland - A List of All Owners of Three Thousand Acres and Upwards, Worth £3,000 a year, in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales - BATEMAN John

KORTE INHOUD

Reprint. Paperback, in-8, 488 pp., illustrations, bibliographical notes, bibliography, index.
First published in 1876, and reissued here in the 1878 edition covering the entire British Isles, this work drew on the 1873 Return of Owners of Land, known as the 'Modern Domesday Book'. John Bateman (1839-1910), a landowner himself, corrected numerous errors and logged many landowners' religious and political affiliations.
Bateman's apparent hope of justifying the existing landowning system in the British Isles was undermined by data which revealed the CONCENTRATION OF LAND IN ARISTOCRATIC HANDS.
