'This is an excellent book, with wise and interesting comments in the introductory sections, which are themselves important historical commentaries on the history of farming and societies over three centuries. The documents are very valuable as teaching aides and will be much used by those teaching local history, and in advanced undergraduate teaching.' Professor C. C. Dyer, University of Birmingham
