First sentence: THE term 'enclosure' in its technical sense-the sense in which, too, it is generally used-means the conversion of estates composed of separate strips in the old open arable fields, and of the commons or wastes, into separate compact properties; the complete abandonment, in fact, of the method of cultivation practised by the ancient village on which the manorial system was imposed.
