About This Item
HMSO & Eyre & Spottiswoode, London, 1875. First Edition. Disbound. Very Good. 21 pages, printed in double columns throughout. Disbound from a larger volume, with no title page or cover. The 1873 Return is sometimes called the "Modern Domesday". It arose from the desire of the Victorian governing landed classes, many of whom sat in the House of Lords, to counter rising public clamour (encouraged by the press) about what was considered the monopoly of land. In 1872, the Local Government Board was ordered to compile a list of landowners from ratings records. The Return lists holdings by size, in acres, roods and poles, and estimated yearly rental of all holdings over one acre. It is laid out by county and landowner, with an identifying address for each landowner. For landowners with extensive, scattered holdings, the address may not correspond to the land's location and may be outside the county in question. The location of the land is not given (Wikipedia). Size: 27 x 36 cms. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Owners of Land; Inventory No: 507056..
