About the book
"Freehold Land Societies," tells about a type of building society that flourished in England in the late 1840s and early 1850s. The critical stimulus for building these societies was the Reform Act of 1832, which, under the county franchise, gave the vote to «Forty-shilling freeholders» – men possessing land worth 40 shillings a year. The book tells about the history and development of the societies and their role in British history.
