...Land is far from being an object peculiarly subject to speculation above all other things. Again Mr. George declares that the tendency towards the enhancement of the value of land above its present value withdraws large bodies of land from cultivation, and drives down the margin of cultivation. Facts show this statement to be entirely contrary to the truth.

He says: "This work of Mr. Bridgman's is not only immature, but it is also in many ways seriously faulty and contrary to the principles which are taught in the fine arts department...
