- Abstract
The article provides information on the book "Desperate Remedies," by Thomas Hardy, in which a lifehold tenure is used as a plot. In quoting some of the terms of one of the leases, Hardy apparently copied from the lease of his family cottage at Higher Bockhampton. The original and a copy of it, in Hardy's hand, are in the Memorial Collection, Dorset County Museum, England. According to the original copy of the lease from William Morton Pitt, the landlord, hardy and his heirs were assigned to pay seven shillings and six-pence as rent.
