- Title
Businessmen and land ownership in the late nineteenth century revisited.
- Authors
Nicholas, Tom
- Abstract
The author makes a point-by-point comments on a critique by Julia A. Smith of his study on businessmen and land ownership in the late nineteenth century Britain. He first commented on Smith's reluctance to see the "Dictionary of business biography" as a collection of business biographies that can stand as a credible source for investigation patterns of wealth and land holding when combined with other data. He also pointed out that he and Smith used different samples which led to Smith's detection of a larger proportion of businessmen landowners.
