Harben, H: Rural Problem (Classic Reprint) -

Résumé :
Excerpt from The Rural Problem

Although personally responsible for the Report, I am indebted to the work of mv colleagues on the Committee for most of the information it contains. Where so many helped it is impossible to thank them all but I feel bound to acknowledge the valuable memoranda prepared by Mr. And Mrs. E. R. Pease, Mr. H. R. Gledstone, Mr. C. M. Grieve, Mr. R. A. Bray, Mr. Hugh Aronson, and Mr. G. P. Blizard, parts of which have been incorporated in the present volume. I am particularly indebted also to Mr. Sidney Webb for many useful suggestions, to Miss Gertrude Westbrook for preparing the bibliography, and to the Secretary of the Committee, Captain A. Imbert-terry, for his constant help, not only during the inquiry, but also in preparing the Report.

The Land Question is likely to be much discussed on public platforms and in the Press during the next few years. This volume claims to be a serious contribution to the discussion. We have tried to present in a handy form facts and figures up to date on many aspects of the question, and we hope that these will render the book useful even to readers who may differ from some of the conclusions we have based upon them.
