Excerpt from Small Holdings of England: A Survey of Various Existing Systems
The matter contained in this book is based on information which has been collected during the last three years for the Co-operative Small Holdings Association. This society realized the want of facts on which to base legislative or other reforms for a greater settlement on the land, and commissioned the author to visit the various districts in England where small holdings were already established, with a view to ascertaining the conditions under which they succeed. The survey, undertaken with this object, does not pretend to be in any way exhaustive, especially of those districts where small holdings of natural origin occur. There is still room for much research work in this connection, which would throw considerable light on many of the points which are open to argument. It is hoped, however, that the districts and undertakings described in the present volume will serve to illustrate the various types which arc found all over England at the present time, and help to dispel the too common opinion that small holdings in this country are necessarily either failures on known lines or experiments on new ones.
