About this book
Freehold Land Societies: Their History, Present Position, and Claims is by J. Ewing Ritchie. The text answers the question of what a Freehold Land Society is by saying that, viewed in a business light, it is simply a society for the purchase of land.
A society buys a large piece of ground, makes roads through it, drains it and turns it into valuable building-land. The text points out that the National alone has purchased 152 acres in Middlesex, and that each acre is capable, on an average, on subdivision, of making five votes. The writer says of all luxuries, that of independence is the sweetest, and that these societies put it within your reach.
