The extract from a speech of Richard Cobden, which appeared as a Preface to the First Edition of this work, has been omitted in the present issue, as it might be supposed to stamp with a political character that which is merely an academical essay.

Ouvry, C.B., having now reached a second edition, a few explanatory words from the author may not seem out of place. The original treatise was published in 1869, as one of those academical essays which are distributed annually to the Members of this University before the 3rd of August, the anniversary of the day on which the University was founded in 1818. These essays are intended to contain the results of purely scientific researches.

Cambridge : Press oj 70hWilson and Soti. PREFATORY NOTE. I ‘&VE so often, of late, been called on for copies of some of these productions, -no longer to be found in a separate or convenient form,-that I have ventured to think that they might prove an acceptable contribution to our Centennial Literature. They deal with two, certainly, of the greatest figures of the period we are engaged in commemorating; and BOWDOIN,I am persuaded, will be’ considered no un­ worthy associate of WASHINGTONand FRANKLINin such a publication. The Monument to Washington, to which the first pro­ duction relates, is still unfinished. It may be interesting to recall the fact that the Oration, on the laying of its corner-stone, was to have been delivered by JOHNQUINCY ADAMS. He died a few months before the occasion, and it was as Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States, of which he had long been the most illus­ trious member, that I was called on to supply his place.

FOE a complete elucidation of the following Eecords, a strong temptation presents itself to reprint the fourth and fifth chapters of book ii. of Blackstone's Commen- taries, wherein the entire history of ancient English te- nures is most lucidly treated; but we must not occupy our pages with information that is readily accessible to all who choose to interest themselves in our early con- stitutional history. A few quotations with reference to the different lands of tenure, and specially that by knight-service, will suffice for our present purpose, an explanation, namely, of the origin and nature of the Inquisitions which form the subject of this paper. " Almost all the real property of this kingdom is by the policy of our laws supposed to be granted by, dependent upon, and holden of some superior lord, by and in consideration of certain services to be rendered to the lord by the tenant or possessor of this property. The thing holden is therefore styled a tenement, the possessors thereof tenants, and the manner of their possession a tenure. Thus all the land in the kingdom is supposed to be holden, mediately or immediately, of the king; who is styled the lord paramount, or above all. Such tenants as held under the king immediately, when they granted out portions of their lands to inferior persons, became also lords with respect to those inferior persons, just as they them- selves were still tenants with respect to the king; and, thus partaking of a middle nature, were called mesne, or middle, 282 INQUISITIONES POST MORTEM.

  • Second Serfdom and Wage Earners in European and Russian Thought from the Enlightenment to the Mid-Nineteenth Century
    CHAPTER 1 SECOND SERFDOM AND WAGE EARNERS IN EUROPEAN AND RUSSIAN THOUGHT FROM THE ENLIGHTENMENT TO THE MID-NINETEENTH CENTURY The Eighteenth Century: Forced Labor between Reform and Revolution The invention of backwardness in Western economic and philosophical thought owes much to the attention given to Russia and Poland in the beginning of the eighteenth century.1 The definitions of backwardness and of labor—which is the main element of backwardness—lies at the nexus of three interrelated debates: over serfdom in Eastern European, slavery in the colonies, and guild reform in France. The connection between these three debates is what makes the definition of labor—and the distinction between free and forced labor—take on certain character- istics and not others. In the course of the eighteenth century, the work of slaves, serfs, and apprentices came to be viewed not just by ethical stan- dards, but increasingly by its efficiency. On that basis, hierarchies were justified, such as the “backwardness” of the colonies relative to the West, of Eastern relative to Western Europe, and of France relative to England. The chronology is striking. Criticisms of guilds, serfdom, and slavery all hardened during the 1750s; Montesquieu published The Spirit of the Laws in 1748, which was soon followed by the first volumes of the Ency- clopédie.2 In these works the serfdom of absolutist and medieval Europe was contrasted with the free labor of Enlightenment Europe. Abbé de Morelli took up these themes in 1755, condemning both ancient serf- dom and modern forms of slavery, in both the colonies and Russia.

  • Land and Feudalism in Medieval England
    Land and Feudalism in Medieval England by Magistra Rosemounde of Mercia Most people know that the feudal system controlled property ownership in England after the Norman conquest of 1066, but without a real understanding of what that means. Feudalism (the term was not actually used until the 17th century) was a social as well as an economic system. It combined elements of Germanic tradition with both Roman and Church law. It is a law of conquerors. The basis of English feudalism was that every person's position in society was defined through a relationship with land, because land was the major source of revenue and the real source of power. Prior to the Conquest, two types of land holdings were known in England: the Celtic, and later, the Germanic or Saxon. Under Celtic custom, all land was held by the sword. There were no legal institutions to protect ownership, only the owner's ability to hold it. Under the Saxon system, land ownership was tied to families. Land was not held of any superior and was not allowed to leave family possession. This form of holding was called folk-land. Folk-land was measured by dividing it into large counties that were then subdivided into hundreds. Later, as Saxon law was influenced by Roman law and the Christian Church, two other holdings developed: book-land, land that was a gift from a superior, and laen-land, land that was loaned to someone outside the family unit in exchange for something. This changed with the Norman conquest. William the Conqueror and his successors, claimed ownership of all the land in England, and everyone else held their land either directly or indirectly from the King.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE KNOXVILLE AN INTERVIEW WITH JIMMY GENTRY FOR THE VETERANS ORAL HISTORY PROJECT CENTER FOR THE STUDY OF WAR AND SOCIETY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY INTERVIEW BY G. KURT PIEHLER AND KELLY HAMMOND FRANKLIN, TENNESSEE JULY 22, 2000 TRANSCRIPT BY KELLY HAMMOND REVIEWED BY PATRICK LEVERTON GREGORY KUPSKY KURT PIEHLER: This begins an interview with Jimmy Gentry in Franklin, Tennessee on July 22, 2000 with Kurt Piehler and … KELLY HAMMOND: Kelly Hammond. PIEHLER: I guess I’d like to ask you a very basic question. When were you born, and where were you born? JIMMY GENTRY: I was born right here. Not in town; just out of Franklin, in what is now called Wyatt Hall. My family rented that house. I was there, but I don’t remember. (Laughs) So I was born right here. PIEHLER: What date were your born? GENTRY: Uh, November 28, 1924 or 5. Don’t ask me those questions like that. (Laughter) ’25, I believe, ‘cause I’ll soon be seventy-five. That must be right. PIEHLER: And you are native of Franklin. GENTRY: I really am. I have lived in Franklin, outside of Franklin, which is now in Franklin, and now I am back outside of Franklin. But Franklin is my home base, yes. PIEHLER: And could you maybe talk a little bit about your parents first? I guess, beginning with your father? GENTRY: Alright. My father originally came from North Carolina. Marshall, North Carolina, as I recall, near Asheville, and then he worked first for the railroad company for a short time.

  • Quia Emptores, Subinfeudation, and the Decline of Feudalism In
    QUIA EMPTORES, SUBINFEUDATION, AND THE DECLINE OF FEUDALISM IN MEDIEVAL ENGLAND: FEUDALISM, IT IS YOUR COUNT THAT VOTES Michael D. Garofalo Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2017 APPROVED: Christopher Fuhrmann, Committee Chair Laura Stern, Committee Member Mickey Abel, Minor Professor Harold Tanner, Chair of the Department of History David Holdeman, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Garofalo, Michael D. Quia Emptores, Subinfeudation, and the Decline of Feudalism in Medieval England: Feudalism, it is Your Count that Votes. Master of Science (History), August 2017, 123 pp., bibliography, 121 titles. The focus of this thesis is threefold. First, Edward I enacted the Statute of Westminster III, Quia Emptores in 1290, at the insistence of his leading barons. Secondly, there were precedents for the king of England doing something against his will. Finally, there were unintended consequences once parliament passed this statute. The passage of the statute effectively outlawed subinfeudation in all fee simple estates. It also detailed how land was able to be transferred from one possessor to another. Prior to this statute being signed into law, a lord owed the King feudal incidences, which are fees or services of various types, paid by each property holder. In some cases, these fees were due in the form of knights and fighting soldiers along with the weapons and armor to support them. The number of these knights owed depended on the amount of land held. Lords in many cases would transfer land to another person and that person would now owe the feudal incidences to his new lord, not the original one.

  • Commentaries on the Laws of England : in Four Books / by Sir William
    THE FEUDAL SYSTEM. 43 Chap. 4.] These are the general divisions of rent; but the difference between them (in respect to the method of recovering them) is now totally abolished; and all persons may have the like remedy by distress for rents-seck, rents of assize, and chief-rents, as in case of rents reserved upon lease. (g) Rent is regularly due and payable upon the land from whence it issues, if no particular place is mentioned in the reservation: (h) but in case of the king, the payment must be either to his officers at the exchequer, or to his receiver in the country. (i) And strictly the rent is demandable and payable before the time of sunset of the day whereon it is reserved; (k) though perhaps not absolutely due till midnight. (l) With regard to the original of rents, something will be said in the next chapter; and, as to distresses, and other remedies for their recovery; the doctrine relating thereto, and the several proceedings thereon, these i. properly to the third part of our Commentaries, which will treat of civil injuries, and the means whereby they are redressed.
