Pick out the bits you like. No good wading through hard bits if it puts you off.

Cover of: The village labourer 1760-1832 by Hammond, J. L. (cover reads & Barbara Hammond)
The village labourer 1760-1832
a study in the government of England before the reform bill

Looks a bit hard going for me, but for those who are interested a link to down load for free is here. It says you can send it to your Kindle!

Sharron, both sound like the type of books I would enjoy. But, | prefer my books in the hand, and having the pleasure of buying them.
When I next go into a proper book shop in Derbys, I'll try and remember to look for them.

Many Thanks

As an influential historian is being discussed elsewhere on the board I thought I might just say that the full text of 'The Village Labourer' by J.L and Barbara Hammond is available online.

Most of us seem to have one or two ag.labs.in our backgrounds.

It looks like their other book 'The Town Labourer' is also available.

I found them both by ust typing in the title.
