Excerpt: ...Congress at Paris, in 1878, by the same writer, to which the Report of Mr. Jenkins, Assistant Commissioner to the Duke of Richmond, on the Agriculture of the Netherlands and Belgium, was in some sort intended to be an answer. Some of Mr. Jenkins' statements have been challenged by Professor Beaujon (see Major Craigie's Paper already quoted, p. 38); but they do not very much affect the question discussed in this volume; and, lastly, there are the Eeports of the other Assistant Commissioners in 1880, to which I have so frequently referred, and who on this question of small holdings do but reproduce the evidence and echo the opinions to be found in the former Eeports of 1867-9, on which my original estimate was based.

The opinions which prevail on this subject in England have, I venture to say, been founded on no such comparison. They are founded on a comparison of the two systems as they exist side by side in England itself. It is from the difference between English small farms and English large farms that the great majority of persons who have any opinions at all upon the subject have derived...
