Excerpt from The Book of the Landed Estate: Containing Directions for the Management and Development of the Resources of Landed Property While Works embracing details of the Science and Practice of Agriculture'have been issued in considerable numbers, those which relate to what may-be termed the Science of Landowner ship, or the general Management of Landed Property, are com paratively few. Yet this is a matter in which many persons have a direct interest, rendering it desirable that full and clear infor mation should exist on all points connected with it. Thus we have, inthe first place, the Proprietors of Land, tenantfarmers, and those who represent the proprietors, and stand between them and their tenants, or Land Agents; but beyond those parties there are others occupying subordinate positions, such as farm-bailifi's, Foresters, and even Country Tradesmen, all more or less directly engaged in the business of Estate Man agement.
