Freehold Land Reform and the English Kossuth
A call for free-trade in land and abolition of feudal land laws. The piece borrows Kossuth’s vision to empower rural owners through moral force and legal change, arguing for ending primogeniture and entail, expanding the franchise, and distributing land more broadly to combat feudal remnants. It cites continental precedents and praises Mr. James Taylor's movement while warning against aristocratic capture of reform.
