This aup;mentation will give the peasan- try all the room to extend their industry and popu- lation, which, for the present, they can desire or could employ. As their numbers and wealth increase, they will naturally overstep this limit and will not only recover by purchase the land they surrendered, but will probably extend their acqui- sitions much farther. The land, as this writer justly observes, is most valuable to those, who culti- vate it themselves ; and it is the natural result of a fre...e circulation of property, that every article falls into the hands of those who can improve it best and make it most productive, because they can afford to pay more for it than any body else. In the mark of Brandenburg there were 1200 of these lordships belonging to about 700 noble fami- lies ; and to these, and the royal domains together, were attached about 78,600 families of serfs. These, by the operation of the new system, may- all be expected to become freeholders. There were also 44,000 other families on these estates, 195 who had no connexion whatever with the land, but who may also be expected to acquire property, now that the land has become an article of com- merce.
