"Landlords."

The landlords (i.e., persons owning more than a field or a tenement each) number only 180,524. Out of a population of 37,000,000, one two-hundredth part of the population owns ten-elevenths of the total area.^*

Five-sixths of the properties assessed to land and house tax are owned by persons whose incomes exceed £400 a year.^†

Not four per cent, of persons dying (of whom one-half are adults) leave behind them £300 worth of property, including personal effects not of the nature of land or industrial capital.^‡

One-half of the wealth of the kingdom is held by persons who leave at death at least £20,000, exclusive of land and houses. These persons form a class somewhat over 25,000 in number.^|
