Excerpt from The Disappearance of the Small Landowner: Ford Lectures, 1909
Among many who have given me valuable assistance in preparing these lectures, I wish to express my especial thanks to the following. To Mr. Gray of Harvard College, who most generously placed at my disposal the results of his inquiries into Surveys of the Tudor and Stuart periods, and into the earlier Land Tax Assessments for Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire; to Mr. Leadam for allowing me to use much of his unpublished work on the Tudor inquisitions; to Mr. Cra"ster for help with regard to Northumberland; to Mr. Fisher for information with regard to the monastic lands; to Professor Firth for suggestions and references for the seventeenth century; to Mr. Slater who gave me some unpublished statistics as to enclosure of the waste; and to Mr. Prothero for information with regard to the eighteenth century.
I also wish to thank the Clerks of the Peace throughout England, and notably Mr. Davenport of Oxford and Mr. Merriman of Marlborough, for help given with regard to the Land Tax Assessments.
