1 Feb 1795 Jahr - Depriving peasantry of all landed property

Beschreibung:

instead of giving to labouring people a valuable stake in the soil, the opposite measure has long so prevailed...
Small parcels of ground have been swallowed up in contiguous farms and inclosures, cottages themselves pulled down. Families crowded together
Few women and children are constantly employed (at home); the burden of providing for their families rests upon the men. When out of work, must come to the parish/settlement. Higher number of the dependent poor
