Excerpt from Annals of the British Peasantry "Mr. Kussell Garnier, author of the excellent History of the English Landed Interest, has followed up those instructive studies in our economical and social history by a not less instructive study of the history of rural labour. He writes with vigour and incisiveness, and with genuine sympathy of the short and simple annals of the poor." - Times. "Mr. Garnier gives a deeply interesting account of the chief class which is, or used to be, the mainstay of the land. The book is encyclopaedic in its information, without being dull or pedantic. The politician and the philanthropist can gather from it a plentiful supply of new ideas and useful hints." - Bristol Times. "A monument of wide research and patient labour. Mr. Garnier combines in the happiest way historical with practical knowledge. He has a happy way of giving chapter and verse for his allegations, so that the book furnishes a guide to an immense range of literature on its subject." - Yorkshire Post. "Mr. Garnier's volume may be cordially recommended alike on account of the vast amount of interesting information it contains, as well as of the striking impartiality and excellent literary style in which his facts are set forth."-North British Agriculturist. "A strikingly clear and well-arranged account of the agricultural labourer's life as it has been and as it is. The book will well repay perusal, not only by those directly interested in agricultural welfare, but all who wish to know something of one of the most serious problems of latter-day politics." - St. James' Gazette. "Between the covers of the Annals of the British Peasantry the author has managed to pack pretty well everything that bears upon the matter, and no country gentleman, no country clergyman or squire should fail to procure this book." - Field. "Mr. Gamier has performed his task with a scholarly thoroughness which, judging from his copious footnotes and careful bibliography, seems to have allowed no spring of information to ran to waste. There is no work which covers the whole period treated in a manner at once as scholarly and as convenient." - Journal of Political Economy.
