About This Item
London: George Allen and Unwin Ltd, 1918. Pamphlet. 23p. booklet bound with thread; one of 35 examples on handmade paper, this one numbered 8. Argues that British land has been robbed of its agricultural fruitfulness by development, weakening the country in war. "By the parasitic and town-ridden condition we are in now, and in which without great and immediate effort we are likely to remain, we degrade our patriotism. That we should have to tremble lest we be starved is a miserable, a humiliating thought. To have had so little pride and independence of spirit as to have come to this, to have been such gobblers at wealth--who dare defend it? We have made our bed; let us, now, refuse to lie thereon. Better the floor than this dingy feather couch of suffocation. Our country is dear to us, and many are dying for Her. There can be no consecration of their memory so deep or so true as this regeneration of The Land.".
