First published in 1980, this compact and useful book uses the
earliest volumes of government-published statistics, and with the
aid of computer-generated cartography, transforms the numbers there
reported into an arrondissement-by-arrondissement comparative
picture of French agriculture in the mid-1830s. Clout reviews
problems of rapid population growth, scarcely adequate domestic
food supplies and primitive systems of transportation, while
attention is drawn to spatial variations in agricultural activity
and productivity. Commercial, high-yielding farming was best
developed in a northern multi-nuclear region, comprising of
Ile-de-France, Normandy and Nord, with smaller foci of commercial
orientation along an eastern axis from Alsace to Marseilles and in
western areas from the Loire to the middle of the Garonne valley.
Clout concludes that the revolutionary promise of national economic
unity was far from being realised in the 1830s and was not to be
achieved until national systems of transport and education were
firmly established later in the nineteenth century.
