The English Landed Estate in the Nineteeth Century: Its Administration deals principally with the administration of large landed estates during the years from 1830 to 1870. The book also throws new light on the work of the Inclosure Commissioners, who, as a department of the central government, supervised agricultural improvements made by landowners who borrowed from the government and from land companies. Author David Spring argues that the British government intervened in agriculture much more than is commonly thought. In describing the hierarchy of estate management, Spring relies, wherever possible, on hitherto unused family papers and estate documents. Especially important is his material on the Dukes of Bedford and on the domestic economy and financial position of the Russell Family. The chapter titled "The Landowner," based on the seventh Duke of Bedford's correspondence with his agent, is a case study of a single estate and provides insight into the workings of a great landowner's mind. The remaining chapters, dealing with lawyers, land agents, and the Inclosure Commissioners, include other individual portraits. Among these are Christopher Haedy, the Duke of Bedford's chief agent; James Loch, king of estate agents in nineteenth-century England; Henry Morton, the Earl of Durham's land agent; and William Blamire and James Caird, two of the Inclosure Commissioners. 606 $aBeheer$2gtt 606 $aLandgoederen$2gtt 606 $aAdministration of estates$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00796713 606 $aAdministration of estates$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 608 $aProject Muse. 610 $aEuropean history 615 10$aBeheer. 615 10$aLandgoederen. 615 0$aAdministration of estates. 615 0$aAdministration of estates 676 $a338.10942 700 $aSpring$b David$061876 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524846503321 996 $aThe English Landed Estate in the Nineteeth Century$92676757 997 $aUNINA
