This book details the development of the 'ground rent' estate in Pennsylvania, and especially in Philadelphia, where this tenure of landownership achieved its fullest development. It explores the concept of ground rent as a form of land tenure that allowed for the purchase of land in fee simple, while reserving a perpetual rent to the grantor. The work examines the legal and economic implications of ground rents, including their role in the growth of small freehold estates in Philadelphia. The author provides numerous historical examples to illustrate the legal and economic development of ground rents in the city. The book sheds light on the complex relationship between landownership, economic development, and the growth of cities during a critical period of US history.
