The sub-title of this work- A Study in Historical Geography, indicates its scope and concern with the making of the rural landscape of the east Riding of Yorkshire during the formative period of 1700 to 1850. Withe aid of numerous illustrations, the principle features of the countryside are analysed and changes during the period ar discussed in detail. The evolution of fields and farms, the reclamation of land in the Lowlands and on the Wolds, the development of farming systems and the changing pattern of rural development are all examined.
