    Liurvnni THE LAND AND THE COMMUNITY THE LAND AND THE COMMUNITY IN THREE BOOKS. BY THE REV. S. W. TH ACRE RAY, M.A., LL.D. TRIN. COLL., CANTAB. NEW YORK: I). APPLETON & CO. 1889. COPYRIGHT, 1889, BY S. W. THACKERAY. The Rights of Translation and of Reproduction are Reserved. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. BY THE RICH! KKVKKKM) F. D. HUNTINGTON. BISHOP OK CF.N THAI M \V YORK. Whether measured by the gravity of its intrinsic, economic and moral claims, by tlie arguments of its advocates, or by its considerable progress in public favor, the theory which it is the object of the follow- ing treatise to support deserves to be understood. To that understanding Mr. Thackeray appears to me to contribute a valuable help, while he meets difficulties and objections with fairness of reasoning and in a temperate spirit. To one class of thinkii-.g men this s.ientific aspect of the work will offer the principal attraction. With others, and they ought not to be few. a yet deeper and larger interest i; pertain to the subject because of its practical relations to the Christian religion. Representatives of the Single Tax doctrine, like thi>. author, who postulate their social system on the primal religious ordinance that the earth is the Lord's and not man's, and is- held in trust anywhere by a nation or organized people, cannot separate their political economy -from their faith. They believe that the remedies which this law of Divine ownership provides go down to the very roots of the manifold evils and wrongs which now afflict, threaten and endanger society to an a'arming degree-, and which thev believe to symptoms of a diseased condition rather than the disease itself.

  • A Sketch of the Evolution of Allodial Titles in Hawaii
    ALLODIAL TITLES. A SKETCH OF THE EVOLUTION OF ALLODIAL TITLES IN HAWAII. The feudal system of land tenure in England had a curious duplicate in the system evolved by the Polynesian race, on the Hawaiian Islands, probably the most remote spot on the seas, excepting the much-sought Arctic poles. This civilization came to the Hawaiian Islands from the south twenty-one generations before the present century. Tradi- tion tells of frequent voyages in double canoes from the Samoan Islands, and the bringing of pigs and chickens on these long voyages to the islands, where they were about the only verte- brates found by Captain Cook. There is no tradition, however, of any of these adventurous colonizers bringing with them Coke on Littleton, Blackstone, nor any learned work on the feudal land tenure. It is not generally believed that Kamehameha I. (who flourished as a contemporary of Napoleon, whose miniature counterpart he was) had ever been a great student of Blackstone; oh, happy man! We are not informed that he ever heard of William the Conqueror, or of the battle of Hastings, or of the Domesday Book. Therefore, we can claim that the great warrior, or his prede- cessors, built up their system of land tenure, without consulting the eminent authorities, and what similarity there is between the Hawaiian and the feudal system is the result of applying the most ready solution to the same problem. Hawaiian history does not show that Kamehameha I., pored over the account of William's landing on the English coast, and defeating the flower of English chivalry there, and then closing the book, rolled up his feather cloak, ordered his canoes and started for Honolulu, Oahu, to repeat the performance, and drive the last remnant of resisting local chiefs up the narrowing Nuuanu valley, back of Honolulu, and over the precipice, the famous pali.

  • Land Use and Society Revised Edition Utherford Latt R H
    199552_cover 11/30/06 8:42 PM Page 1 Land Use Planning/Policy Rutherford H. Platt Land Use and Society Revised Edition utherford latt R H. P Platt Land Use and Society is a unique and compelling exploration of interactions among law, geog- raphy, history, and culture and of their joint influence on the evolution of land use and urban form in the United States. Originally published in 1996, this completely revised, expanded, and LAND updated edition retains the strengths of the earlier version while introducing a host of new topics and insights on the twenty-first century metropolis. This new edition devotes greater attention to urban land use and related social issues with two new chapters that trace American city and metropolitan change over the twentieth century. More emphasis is given to social justice and the environmental movement and their respective roles in shaping land use and policy in recent decades. This edition of Land Use and Society is USE updated to reflect the 2000 Census, the most recent Supreme Court decisions, and various top- ics of current interest, such as affordable housing, protecting urban water supplies, urban bio- diversity, and “ecological cities.” AND Advanced praise for Land Use and Society, Revised Edition: “The first edition was excellent: readable, teachable, and usable, plus checkable for magpie facts. The new version is even better, with a sharper historical, political, and aesthetic feel. This book runs the table against other land use texts. There won’t be a stronger one until Platt revises again.” SOCIETY —Frank J. Popper, professor, Urban Studies Program, Rutgers University; Visiting Professor, Environmental Studies Program, Princeton University “This book is required reading for students and professionals interested in how Americans have used and abused our natural landscape and a prescription for how we can produce a better future for our land and our people.” —Edward J.
