Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Agriculture and Prices in England, Vol. 1: From the Year After the Oxford Parliament (1259) To the Commencement of the Continental War (1793), Compiled Entirely From Original and Contemporaneous Records
I anticipate that the facts and comments contained in these volumes will attract but few readers. The form of such a work is necessarily repulsive, and the dry details of business transacted many centuries ago will have but little charm for the general public. But there is nevertheless contained in these relics no small portion of the bygone life of the English people, perhaps even some materials which may aid in constructing a philosophy of history, by giving depth and solidity to the political events which have been narrated by our annalists.
