On the economic causes of the present state of agriculture in Ireland: part three

Abstract

In my first paper on the state of agriculture in Ireland I ascribed that state to two sets of causes ? first, the legal impediments to the free transfer and sale of land; and, secondly, the legal impediments to the application of capital to agricultural operations. I then proceeded to explain the nature and extent of the first set of causes. I shall, in this paper, bring under your notice part of the second set of causes, namely, the legal impediments to the application of capital to agricultural operations.
