Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Agriculture and Prices in England, Vol. 6: From the Year After the Oxford Parliamentary, 1259, to the Commencement of the Continental War, 1793; 1583 1702 The prices at which the corn rents are estimated, are the highest of the market on the rent day. To what extent the tenants, knowing this, could prevent or moderate what they might conceive to be an over high price, is a difficult thing to determine. But it was, I think, in view of this contingency that the Cambridge Colleges, and later on Winchester, had far more numerous returns of corn rents than the six-monthly Oxford esti mate. At King's College there are eleven such days, going nearly over the year, though it is rarely the case that all the tenants are punctual to date. When they are behindhand, their liabilities go into the arrears, and it becomes impossible to disintegrate them. These corn rents extend from Michaelmas to the end of August, and so cover the whole agricultural year. At S. John's the corn rents are valued six times a year, from Sept. 29 to Aug. 1. At Eton, the College began with the two days, Michaelmas and Lady Day, but in course of time had seven rent days, from Michaelmas to Midsummer. At Winchester the regular rent days were eight in the year. In some estates belonging to this College, oats formed a corn rent. I cannot but conclude that in this distribution of their corn rents, the Colleges intended to obviate a combination of farmers against them.

Excerpt from A History of Agriculture and Prices in England, Vol. 5: From the Year After the Oxford Parliament (1259) To the Commencement of the Continental War (1793); Compiled Entirely From Original and Contemporaneous Records; 1583-1702 A third important fact in the economical history of this period is the rapid growth of population, despite the singular severity with which plagues of various kinds - the old plague of r 348, small-pox, and typhus or spotted fever - ravaged the towns. This increase was partly due to immigration from the Netherlands and France, partly to the growth of domestic industries, especially cloth-weaving, but most of all to the settle ment and occupation of the counties north of the Trent. At the time of the Revolution, as we can see from the returns of the Hearth Tax, the northern counties were nearly as fully peopled as the southern, certain differ ences of soil and climate being taken into account. These counties were especially, though not wholly, the seats of the new manufactures. In the seventeenth century, too, other manufactures than those of textile fabrics made considerable progress. Paper, glass and iron were increasingly produced in England, apparently of excellent quality, and chiefly in the South of England paper in Kent, glass and iron in Sussex. It is to this century jalso that the art of smelting iron by pit-cod is assigned. There is evidence that this process was known a century before, but it may well have been improved by Dud Dudley, its reputed inventor.
