PREFACE.

IN preparing a Second Edition for the press, the Editors have carefully revised the whole work, making alterations here and there for the sake of greater clearness, and adding comments upon points which have been mooted since the publication of the first edition.

Additional care has been bestowed upon the precedents, and many new forms of farming agreements have been inserted.

During the period which has elapsed since the passing of the Act, the various Chambers of Agriculture have been busy in settling scales of compensation, which have been forwarded. in due course to the "Central Chamber," which has itself settled, for one kind of improvement, but for one only, a scale suggested for application throughout England and Wales. Through the courtesy of Major Craigie, the Secretary of the Central Chamber, the Editors have the advantage of being able to print the scales of all the Chambers which, up to date, have formulated particular scales. These scales are here arranged in alphabetical tables under the various counties to which they relate.
