Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
IN the closing months of the year 1800, and the first half of 1801, the rapidly rising cost of living, as the French wars dragged on interminably, greatly agitated both Commons and Lords. Both Houses debated yet again the high price of provisions, and particularly that of grain, at length. As a result of these debates Select Committees were set up to consider the subject, which reported six times in 1800 and seven times in the first half of the following year. It was possibly as a result of these Committees' activities that the Home Office called for returns of the acreage under crops in every parish of the kingdom in the year 1801, the information to be supplied on a printed form by the rector, vicar, or curate, as the case might be. These crop returns, made immediately after the harvest of 1801, survive for the greater part in the Public Record Office among the Home Office Papers, where they are grouped under the various dioceses. Thus the returns for a particular county have to be extracted, sheet by sheet, from a rather miscellaneous mass, and one cannot be completely certain that one has recovered every single return that may exist. | |||
