Description

Second edition, published by Swan Sonnenschein & Co. in 1896, issued in original cloth with leather spine. Late 19th-century works by Alfred R. Wallace are of enduring interest, and early editions are increasingly difficult to source in original binding. Copies from this period are less frequently encountered on the secondary market, particularly when complete. A solid example for collectors of Victorian works and historical publications.

Land Nationalisation sets out Alfred Russel Wallace?s arguments on land ownership and its social and economic implications. Drawing on contemporary issues of the late 19th century, he examines the structure of land distribution and proposes reforms aimed at addressing inequality. The work reflects broader debates of the period and offers insight into Wallace?s social and political thought.
