Excerpt from The Agricultural Holdings Act, 1908-1913: With Introduction and Explanatory Notes and Forms, Also the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries of 1909 Together With a Manual on Tenant Right Valuation the newer methods adopted in the valuation of feeding stuffs and manures. In tracing these changes, I beg to express my gratitude to three distinct sources of help. In the first place, to the researches of three scientists, viz., Dr. J. A. Voelcker, Mr. A. D. Hall, F.R.S., and Dr. C. Crowther: - in passing it may be observed that the science of agriculture and all the agriculturists in Britain are under deep obligations to the aforesaid three scientists. Secondly, I have to express my obligations to the Report of the Central Chamber of Agriculture, and also to the good offices of practically every Chamber of Agriculture, and nearly every Tenant-Right Valuers' Association in England and Wales. Lastly, it is well known that the Act of 1908 gave an impetus to the drafting of new agricultural leases. I thank agents and tenants in nearly every county for allowing me to peruse these new models of the draftsman's art. Thanks to the patronage of the Legal profession, Land Agents, Tenant-Right Valuers, and Agriculturists, the first edition of this work has been exhausted in less than two years. Certain important decisions under sec. 11 of the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1908 (on compensation for unreasonable disturbance), and the production by Dr. Voelcker and Mr. A. D. Hall of Revised (1913) Tables of Compensation Values have necessitated a thorough revision and enlargement of the text by 53 pages. I am much indebted to Dr. J. Augustus Voelcker for several valuable explanations of difficulties in connection with the New Tables, and to Mr. G. L. Tinsley (of the firm of Richardson & Tinsley, Auctioneers and Tenant-Right Valuers, Old Corn Exchange, Lincoln) for kindly reading through the proofs and much esteemed advice on practical points connected with the practices of the valuer's profession.
