    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This essay on the condition of farm servants in the mid nineteenth century has been written from a farmer&#039;s point of view. The farmer sees the servants as &#039;mere living agricultural machines&#039; and feels that they would benefit from moral and spiritual education. The essay provides the reader with a good idea of the appalling conditions and total lack of rights that farm servants suffered from at this time. This was one class that Reform did not help.]]></dcterms:description>
