Free Trade In Land Explained

Excerpt from Free Trade in Land As the reader acquaints himself with the contents of the Volume, he will perceive how moderate and how just are the views which are advocated in it. There is nothing to alarm intelligent owners of land there is no support given to any of the wild proposi tions which some speculative writers have put forth, and which ignorant and illogical men have adopted or favoured. The Author is always just; he seeks to give that freedom to the soil which our laws have given to its produce, and which they give to personal property of every kind; he would leave to their free action the natural forces which tend to the accumulation of landed property on the one hand, as well as those which tend to its dispersion on the other; he would so change our laws as to give to every present generation an absolute control over the soil, free from the paralysing influences which afflict it now from the ignorance, the folly, the obstinacy or the pride of the generations which have passed away.
