- Discussion of agricultural reform efforts and resistance to improvements in Isle of Man
- Description
- A fragmentary document containing two overlapping handwritten texts discussing agricultural reform in the Isle of Man. The left-hand text describes an instance where two British farmers were sent to introduce improved farming methods but faced local opposition including destruction of fences and theft of cattle, forcing them to leave. The right-hand text is largely obscured but appears to discuss proposals and popular support for improvements.
