About This Book

A systematic study traces the historical evolution of rural landholding and community institutions, explaining how communal tenure and inherited shares grew out of earlier forms of fee and patrimonial tenure and changes associated with emancipation. It describes varieties of village land organization, the subdivision and communal use of arable land, meadow and pasture, and the development of agrarian communism alongside hereditary allotments. It assesses peasant productive forces and household economics — farm size, livestock, fuel and fodder shortages, soil exhaustion, yields and budgets — and analyzes fiscal burdens, including redemption and per-capita taxation, arrears, and their effects on village life.

Systematic Political Science
BY THE
UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF POLITICAL SCIENCE OF
COLUMBIA COLLEGE.

The University Faculty of Political Science of Columbia College have in preparation and intend to publish a series of systematic works covering the entire field of political science proper and of the allied sciences of public law and economics. The method of treatment will be historical, comparative and statistical; and it will be the aim of the writers to present the latest results of institutional development and of scientific thought in Europe and America. Each work will be indexed by subjects and authors, and the last volume will contain a topical index to the entire series.

The series will consist of the following nine works:

Comparative Constitutional Law and Politics. By John W. Burgess.

Comparative Constitutional Law of the American Commonwealths. By Frederick W. Whitridge.

Historical and Practical Political Economy. By Richmond Mayo-Smith.

Historical and Comparative Science of Finance. By Edwin R. A. Seligman.

Comparative Administrative Law and Science. By Frank J. Goodnow.

International Law. By John Bassett Moore.

Historical and Comparative Jurisprudence. By Munroe Smith.

History of Political Theories. By William A. Dunning.

Literature of Political Science. By George H. Baker.

The first of these works was published early in 1891, by Ginn and Co. The entire series will probably be completed within three years.
