Inclosure and Ensuing Evils in 1773 Debated
A fragment from April 1773 argues that enclosures drive up prices for firewood and essential goods, deprive the poor, empower large dealers, and create scarcity. It condemns rising luxury, forms of restraint on small holdings, and widespread poverty, urging Lordship to act to sever these harms at their root.
