Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. While Works embracing details of the Science and Practice of Agriculture have been issued in considerable numbers, those which relate to what may be termed the Science of Landowner-ship, or the general Management of Landed Property, are comparatively few. Yet this is a matter in which many persons have a direct interest, rendering it desirable that full and clear information should exist on all points connected with it. Thus we have, in the first place, the Proprietors of Land, Tenant-Farmers, and those who represent the proprietors, and stand between them and their tenants, or Land Agents; but beyond those parties there are others occupying subordinate positions, such as Farm-Bailiffs, Foresters, and even Country Tradesmen, all more or less directly engaged in the business of Estate Management.<br><br>In preparing the ‘Book of the Landed Estate’ I have endeavoured, therefore, to address myself to each section; and, while fully acknowledging the great merits of several of my predecessors in the same field of labour, I have reason to believe that a Work perhaps more suited to the advanced ideas and requirements of the present day than most of those which have hitherto appeared, is not uncalled for.
