A Short History of English Agriculture

"A Short History of English Agriculture" by W. H. R. Curtler is a journey through the ages of farming in England, starting from the very beginning and going all the way to the late 1800s. The book looks at how agriculture changed over time because of things like new inventions, big events in history, and changes in how society worked. Early on, it talks about how the first people in Britain farmed together and shared the land and how that system grew into one where lords owned large areas. It shows how farming wasn't just about growing food, but also about how people lived and worked together, eventually leading to a system where people could own their own land.
