Excerpt from The Economic Journal, 1897, Vol. 7: The Journal of the British Economic AssociationIN the middle ages the organisation of rural economy was everywhere as follows - the land was held partly by the lord partly by the peasant. Ou the lord's manor stood the lord's seat, surrounded by barns and stables, the latter for horses, eventually also for the owner's sheep, the former were des tined to receive the returns of tillage. These were won from the soil with the aid of the peasant liegemen, their cattle and their tools, as their lord directed through his steward. The personal dependents of the chief, and subsequently a number of day labourers, were also expected to contribute their work to the tillage of his estate. It was the further duty of the peasant to take all produce to the market, where it was sold under direction of the steward for the benefit of the landlord.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
