Not illustrated. 1874 edition. Excerpt: ...such a system as that adopted by Mr. de Moleyns is obvious. In a recent letter which I received from the excellent Vicar of Burrington, he informed me that for a long time previously not a single inhabitant of his parish had been an inmate of the district workhouse. There is at Burrington an admirable system of allotments. About thirty years ago some of the; cottagers were permitted to enclose pieces of common land on the top of some of the Mendip hills. These enlosures have since been used as "garden grounds." Each garden plot averages a quarter of an acre in extent, for which a merely nominal rent of is. 6d. per annum is all that is required by the Lord of the Manor. These "garden grounds," as they are called, are much prized by the labourers, who grow in them their little. crops of fruit and vegetables. A system almost identical with that pursued at Burrington was adopted by Canon Girdlestone during his residence at Halberton; for, notwithstanding the great demand made upon his time by his work of peasant migration--which will be found noticed at length in the succeeding chapter--the Canon did not allow the cause of Education in his parish to suffer. As at Burrington so at Halberton, the Vicar adopted the admirable plan of obtaining situations for the most deserving of the pupils in his schools; thus offering a powerful incentive to diligence and good behaviour, and giving the most practical encouragement to education. CHAPTER V. THE WORK OF CANON GIRDLESTONE. ANON-GIRDLESTONE may fairly be considered as the pioneer of the agricultural labourers' movement. He, in fact, commenced, in the north of Devon, as early as the year 1866, the system of peasant migration with which his name has been associated. It is probable that had it not been...

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1881. Excerpt: ... 203 MY GARDEN KEY. My Garden 'Key' is in the nature of an Index to Ihe plants mentioned in the volume; but it is more than this; for under the name of each species I shall give a key to the districts of Great Britain in which it is to be found. Amongst the most elaborate and valuable accounts ever published of the distribution of British plants are those written and compiled by Mr. Hewett Cottrell Watson under the titles of ' Topographical Botany' and ' Cybele Britannica.' From the first of these the information given in this 'Key' has, by the kind permission of Mr. Watson, been obtained. It must be explained that the author of ' Topographical Botany' obtained his facts, as the result of many years' labour, from the reports of a large number of correspondents, by means of his own researches, and from published and reliable works. The task of collecting information of this kind was necessarily a gigantic one, and it was not found possible by Mr. Watson to make his work quite complete by obtaining full data from every one of the botanical districts into which, for the purposes of his arrangement, he had divided Great Britain. Hence he failed to secure facts as to the presence of the commoner plants of this country in nine out of his hundred and twelve districts. These nine districts are the following:--In Wales the counties of Brecon, Radnor, Montgomery, and Merioneth; and in Scotland the counties or botanical districts of "Wigton, Peebles, Selkirk, Mull, and West Ross. In most, and in very many cases in all, of these nine excepted districts the commoner plants are almost sure to be found. When, therefore, in the preceding pages plants are referred to as occurring in a hundred and three districts, it may fairly be assumed that the same plants are to be foun...
