Village-Communities In The East And West: Six Lectures Delivered At Oxford is a book written by Henry Sumner Maine and published in 1872. The book is a collection of six lectures that Maine delivered at the University of Oxford, where he discusses the concept of village communities and compares them between the East and the West. Maine explores the evolution of village communities, their organization, and their social structures. He examines the differences between the village communities in the East, such as India, and those in the West, such as England, and how their distinct cultural and historical backgrounds have influenced their development. The author also delves into the legal and economic aspects of village communities, examining their land tenure systems, property rights, and the impact of colonialism on these communities. Maine's work is considered a pioneering study in the field of anthropology and sociology, and his insights have contributed significantly to the understanding of village communities and their role in shaping society. Overall, Village-Communities In The East And West is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the village communities in different parts of the world, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of social structures and cultural evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
