Note 284 — Chapter VII · THE REMEDIES OF 1795
Reading edition
The most distinguished advocate of this policy was William Marshall, the agricultural writer who published a strong appeal for the labourers in his book On the Management of Landed Estates, 1806, p. 155; cf. also Curwen’s Hints, p. 239: ‘A farther attention to the cottager’s comfort is attended with little cost; I mean giving him a small garden, and planting that as well as the walls of his house with fruit trees.’
