Excerpt from The Origin of Property in Land
April, 1889» It seemed especially suitable for translation'; since it presented in a comparatively brief compass all the main arguments of that great historian against the various attempts which have been made to support the theory Of primitive agrarian communism by an appeal to historical records. The translation has been made with the consent of Madame Fustel de Coulanges; and it has benefited by the suggestions of M. Guiraud, an old pupil of the author, and now Charge de Cours at the Sorbonne. The presentation of the Essay in an English dress has been deemed a suitable occasion to estimate the bearing of its arguments on early English social history, and to review in the light of it the evidence now accessible as to the origin of the English manor.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the heart of a long-standing debate among historians: did early English society begin with a population of independent freemen or dependent serfs? Challenging the widely accepted 'mark theory' of communal land ownership, the author meticulously examines historical evidence and argues for a different perspective. By scrutinizing early legal codes, land grants, and settlement patterns, the author contends that the prevailing social structure in early England was the 'manor,' characterized by private land ownership and a hierarchical system of lords and tenants. This system, the author suggests, bore striking similarities to the Roman villa system, hinting at a possible continuation of Roman agrarian practices even after the barbarian invasions. Exploring the complexities of social organization, this book sheds light on the lives of various social classes, including slaves, freedmen, and different types of tenants, and their roles in shaping the economic landscape. The author's insights invite us to reconsider our understanding of freedom, servitude, and the evolution of land ownership in early English history.
