The Bedfordshire farm worker in the Nineteenth Century

A compendious collection of extracts from parliamentary Blue Books and from documentary material in the county record office, beginning with general views of the life of the farm worker in 19th-century Bedfordshire as a background for the following sections concerned with the poor law, the life of the labourer, migration and emigration, housing, access to land, education, and the Labourers' Union. Plates. In the preliminary matter, a tribute to Harold Owen White, secretary of the Society 1965-80.
