36 page A5 booklet with one or two, contemporary, black and white illustrations. Husbandmen was the description given to smaller farmers although the term is loosely applied to anyone engaged in husbandry. In the agricultural social scale the husbandman came between the larger yeoman farmer and the labourer. The difference between husbandman and yeoman was mainly one of scale although the yeoman may, more normally, have been a freeholder. The contrast between husbandman and labourer seemed more clear cut while both occupied land and farmed it the labourer sold his surplus labour while the husbandman was a businessman who hired in labour to supplement his own. This work looks at the husbandman primarily through probate inventories. These were lists of his possessions at his death with rough valuations. 77 husbandmens probates were identified in a sample of over 600 of which 34 gave a room by room account of possessions.
New and unused with some minor scuffing to the top right hand corner.
