Note 151-2 — Chapter II
John J. (John Joseph) Lalor translation
It is a consequence both of their difference of situation and of their fertility that in the Himalaya the farmers low down on the sides pay 50 per cent. of the gross product as farm-rent, and higher up, 20 per cent. less. (Ritter, Erdkunde, III, 878.) Both influences may be traced most accurately in East Friesland, and in similar places: marsh land, sandy land, heath land, and high moorland.
Its situation influences especially the money rent of land, and its quality the amount of produce. (McCulloch, Principles, III, 5.)
