The Land Question;
Containing Remarks on the Right of Property in Land, on Land Tenures, Large and Small Farms, Peasant Proprietors, Cottiers, the Laws of Primogeniture and Entail, the Land Transfer Act, and other Matters Relating to Landed Property.
By G. R.
"The Land of every country belongs to the people of that country. The individuals called landowners have no right, in morality and justice, to anything but the rent, or compensation for its saleable value. With regard to the land itself, the paramount consideration is, by what mode of appropriation and of cultivation it can be made most useful to the collective body of its inhabitants."—Principle of Political Economy, by John Stuart Mill, M.P.
"The man who can secure the application of free trade to land and to labour, will do for the English poor more than we have been able to do by the application of free trade to commerce."—Speech at Rochdale, by Richard Cobden.
